Workplace Safety Group

Employers, employees and the insurance industry launched a new voluntary code which sets out a new way for employers and employees to work together to prevent workplace accidents and resolve industry issues directly. The Workplace Safety Code establishes new guidelines on prevention of workplace accidents; on intervention with medical care for the injured worker if, in spite of best efforts, an accident does happen; and on follow-up support to help the worker recover and return to the workplace as soon as possible. This initiative involves all the relevant organisations operating in the workplace, from the two major employers' groups, IBEC (Irish Business and Employers Confederation), CIF (Construction Industry Federation), as well as ICTU (Irish Congress of Trade Unions), and the IIF (Irish Insurance Federation). The Code is supported by State bodies including the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment, the Health and Safety Authority, The PIAB and FAS.
