Haven't posted in a while, but today I fly to Manchester for 5 days to deliver IOSH Managing Safely course. This is my second time to this customer and looking forward to it.

To say the Carnival of Science was a success would be an understatement.

With around 25,000 to 30,000 people in attendance over the two days, the figures speak for themselves. I was advised by a member of staff from the council that this was the biggest event in Fitzgerald Park since the Worlds Fair back in 1902.

To work with the magnificent team at Eventi Management was an absolute pleasure, every member put in 100% and it really showed.

Great feedback was received from members of the public and vendors.

Below are a few photos of shows I was able to take in on my safety checks.

If you have any need for safety training, documentation and everything in between, don't forget to contact JGD Safety, where your safety is our priority.

Are you looking for something to do with the entire family on the weekend of June 8th & 9th?

Then I would highly recommend that you attend the Cork Carnival of Science 2024. This is a FREE two day STEM extravaganza being held in Fitzgerald Park, Cork from 11am to 6pm on each day.

JGD Safety are proudly head of safety for this event with months of planning between all parties going into this, we're sure everyone will have fun, be educated and be safe at the same time.

Hi All,

The Blarney Chamber of Commerce awards are currently open for voting.

For people that know me, 2023 was an absolute nightmare of year health wise. But for the times I was able to work, JGD Safety still managed to grow and that is down to the customer service we provide to our clients.
We at JGD Safety go above and beyond where possible, and for example, I was sitting in A&E and got a call from a client looking for a course to be done that evening. Clearly I wasn't going to be able to do it as i was admitted to hospital but I was able to contact other trainers I know to do this training for them and the client was very happy I got this sorted for them, considering the situation.

If you believe that JGD Safety deserves this award, please submit a vote before closing on the 31st.

As the votes and nominations come it it's clear there are a lot of valued business people in the area. Here are the nominees to date for the Customer Service Category of the Blarney Business Awards. This award is sponsored by AIB Blarney.
