Health & Safety Policy

It is the policy of Waterford Institute of Technology to promote high standards of health and safety within the Institute and to ensure that the best practicable methods of compliance with the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005 and associated legislation are achieved.

In addition to our commitment to the safety of our staff and students, it is our policy to ensure the safety of visitors and members of the public and to discharge our duties to contractors and others who may be affected by our activities.

The Institute undertakes to ensure that adequate resources are provided to implement the Health & Safety Policy.  The Management Team will therefore ensure that:

• Adequate resources are provided to ensure that proper provision can be made for health and safety.
• Adequate numbers of suitably trained personnel are available to undertake all work activities.
• Sufficient resources are available to provide necessary information and training with respect to health and safety.

All members of the Institute are expected to demonstrate their commitment towards a safe and healthy work and study environment by complying with the Institute’s health and safety policy and associated procedures.
