Workers' Memorial Day Ireland
Zdenek Rydl
Today, the 28th of April is Workers Memorial Day Ireland. This is a National Day of Remembrance for all those who have lost their lives or were injured in a workplace accident. Sadly, workplace fatalities and accidents are still occurring countrywide, with already 7 workplace death in 2022 and 38 in 2021. Just one workplace fatality or accident is too many.
It is vitally important that health and safety is at the forefront of all that we do, not just on-site but at all aspects of the company. We have a high standard of safety across all our sites, but we must work hard every day to maintain that high standard and not become complacent. Just because there have been no accidents or incidents doesn’t mean we can switch off when it comes to safety on site.
So, I would ask you all today to take a minute out of your day to remember all those who have lost their lives while at work and to be mindful of your own safety as you go about your day wherever it may take you.
