The All Ireland Occupational Safety Quiz Finals, which is run jointly by the National Irish Safety Organisation (NISO) and the Northern Ireland Safety Group (NISG), returned this year following a two-year absence due to the COVID-19 restrictions. This year the Quiz Finals included a number of teams that qualified at regional level in 2020 but did not get the chance to compete in the Safety Quiz Finals as the event had to be cancelled.
A total of eight teams competed from all parts of the island of Ireland. There was a great turnout at the event held at the Tullamore Court Hotel, Tullamore, Co. Offaly, with great support for the participating teams from their co-workers.
The results in the Previous Entrants category finals were very close with Eurofins Professional Scientific Services, Co. Cork, emerging as the overall winners with 104 points [out of a maximum of 128 marks] ahead of runners-up, Rosderra Irish Meats Group, Co. Offaly, who finished a close second place with 101 points.
