Posted By Margaret Stokes If you visit the HSA website FAQ section at http://www.hsa.ie/eng/FA...Assessment/#prepare%20ss you will find a question titled - How do I prepare a Safety Statement? The answer to the question contains information on what is required in the safety policy. As noted above for work in ROI you will however need to prepare a Safety Statement, which in addition to the policy also contains information on responsibilities, protective and preventative measures, safety resources and significantly risk assessments for your work activities.

Posted By Larry Shannon Has your firm got the Safe t Cert, for tendering for NI work? If so, the addition of the Safety Statement, along with the SMS in place for Safe t Cert should suffice.
