A Safety Statement is the plan an organisation has detailing how it will manage matters relating to the health and safety of its employees, sub-contractors, visitors and others affected by that organisation's day-to-day activities.
Under the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act, 2005, the Safety Statement is seen as the essential ingredient in the formula for the implementation and management of safety, health & welfare procedures in the workplace. Its purpose is to identify the policy and procedures that an organisation is going to use in order to effectively carry out these tasks.
All employers, including the self-employed, are required under this legislation to identify the hazards and assess the risks at their place of work and put these details in a written format. They are also required to specify the manner in which the safety, health and welfare of their employees and other related persons is to be secured. This written format is the Safety Statement.
