Occupational Safety and Health Legislation in Ireland

The Health and Safety Authority is required, under section 57 of the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005 (No. 10 of 2005) to keep under review safety and health legislation (relevant statutory provisions) and other statutes (associated statutory provisions) that have a bearing on occupational safety and health. The Authority will submit such proposals to the Minister for Labour Affairs, as appropriate, from time to time.

A wide range of occupational safety and health and dangerous substances legislation and associated codes of practice are administered and enforced, in whole or part, by the Health and Safety Authority.
