LIMERICK City and County Council has been awarded an international health and safety certification.

The local authority was awarded the ISO 45001 Health and Safety Certification, an internationally-recognised standard in workplace safety, health, and welfare, which was developed by national and international standards committees.

A Council spokesman said that the certification โ€œdemonstrates not only compliance with health and safety legislationโ€, but also its commitment to the safety, health, and welfare of local authority staffโ€.

โ€œThis certification is the result of a substantial programme of work involving all departments, to bring the Councilโ€™s safety management system to the required standard,โ€ the spokesman added.
