The Safety, Health and Welfare At Work (Carcinogens) Regulations, 2001, form a crucial part of Irish legislation designed to protect workers from exposure to carcinogenic substances in the workplace. Enacted to ensure the safety and well-being of employees, these regulations focus on the prevention and control of occupational exposure to carcinogens.
These Regulations impose specific responsibilities on businesses to protect workers from exposure to carcinogenic substances. Compliance requires a proactive approach, including risk assessments, control measures, training, and ongoing monitoring to ensure a safe and healthy working environment.
