In Ireland, all employers are required by law to carry out a workplace risk assessment under the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005. This critical process helps identify potential hazards in the workplace and ensures that appropriate controls are in place to protect employees, visitors, and contractors.
At Philip & Son Training Consultants (PSTC), we offer professional, on-site risk assessments designed to help businesses like yours stay safe, compliant, and fully informed. We work with a wide range of industries, from childcare and retail to manufacturing and logistics, ensuring that every assessment is tailored to your specific environment.
Our approach is simple, straightforward, and built on real-world experience. We don’t use generic templates or overwhelm you with legal jargon – we provide clear, practical recommendations you can act on straight away. Every risk assessment includes a site visit by a qualified health and safety consultant who will examine your operations, speak with staff if needed, and evaluate the environment for any hazards that could cause injury, illness, or operational disruption.
The results of this assessment are documented in a professional written report, which outlines all findings, the associated risk levels, and step-by-step recommendations to help you address them. This report also forms a vital part of your Safety Statement – another legal requirement under Irish law.
A well-conducted workplace risk assessment doesn’t just keep you compliant — it protects your people and strengthens your business. Proactive safety management reduces absenteeism, boosts staff confidence, and lowers the risk of costly claims or enforcement actions. Whether you’re undergoing your first assessment or updating an existing one, PSTC is here to support you.
