With deaths in the workplace now at an average of one per week it is long past the time for inaction by government.
We need to see a coordinated approach from government to the whole area of health and safety.
In response to the call for extra resources, NISO President Harry Galvin said “it is only with a fully committed and coordinated accident prevention programme the we will achieve any reduction in the rate of workplace fatalities in Ireland”.
