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

A Council spokesman said that the certification โdemonstrates not only compliance with health and safety legislationโ, but also its commitment to the safety, health, and welfare of local authority staffโ.
โThis certification is the result of a substantial programme of work involving all departments, to bring the Councilโs safety management system to the required standard,โ the spokesman added.
