In
2007, more
pedestrians have been killed on our roads
than any other kind of road user. As of 15th February, 39
people have died on Irish roads this year and 17 of these
have been pedestrians. Last year 84 pedestrians were
killed, that is nearly two pedestrians
a week.

Q&A section with Paul Tierney

I have a query regarding training required for employees
working in a factory with vehicles that come under the
Construction Regs 2006 e.g. JCB, Teleporter. Is it
necessary for us to provide this training for employees
who may work on these vehicles?
Regards Paula

If
an employee is off work with a medical cert and the
company is paying him due to a work related injury, what
happens if he is called into work after 5pm? is he due
overtime and should he be paid at all? It has been
brought to the GMs attention that he should not be on the
premises to work but he does not care
Can you please advise on this?
John
