✔️ Covers HACCP, allergens & inspections
✔️ Delivered onsite at your pub
✔️ Fully compliant with FSAI requirements

Is your business fully compliant with Irish Health & Safety law?

Every employer in Ireland – from offices and cafés to retail, healthcare, education and charities – must have a written, up-to-date Safety Statement that reflects the REAL risks in their workplace. A generic template won’t protect your business… and it won’t meet legal requirements.

At SafeHands, we make compliance simple. We carry out a full, site-specific Risk Assessment and create a tailored Safety Statement designed around YOUR business, YOUR people, and YOUR work activities.

If your Safety Statement is outdated, generic, or non-existent, now is the time to fix it. Read our latest blog to learn what a compliant Safety Statement includes and how SafeHands can help.
