Halloween Pet Safety

The 31st of October. Halloween night, is an exciting night for both adults and children alike. There’s fun to be had for all who want to get involved, whether it’s dressing in costume, going to parties or just going to a well organised bonfire. But spare a thought for the members of the household who may not be as excited about the time of year as we are...

ATEX requirements in the workplace

There is new legislation in place to deal with Explosive Atmospheres in the Irish workplace as a result of a new EU Directive. They are mentioned in Part 8 of the 2007 Safety, Health & Welfare at Work Regulations. There is also some information provided in Schedule 10 of the regulations.

Explosion protection is of particular importance to safety as explosions endanger the lives and health of workers as a result of the uncontrolled effects of flame and pressure, the presence of noxious reaction products, and consumption of the oxygen in the ambient air which workers breathe.

News & Events
In 2009 Phoenix Safety will be celebrating 10 years in the Health and Safety business.

To celebrate this milestone we recently launched our anniversary issue brochure at the NISO Annual Conference in Trim and the Safety & Health at Work Exhibition in the RDS.

Q&A section with Paul Tierney

Paul, I have been told that the new Vibration Regulations are applicable to all places of work and require measurement as part of my risk assessment. What do I measure and how?

Mary, Galway

Hi, How do I identify a Confined Space in my workplace and when I do what action am I to take?
Thanks,
Richard.
