The Safety Statement Template Blog!

9th January 2012
Well we're back in full flow here with our Safety Statement Templates. The first new Safety Statement Template of 2012 is one for a Nightclub. As with many of our other Safety Statement Templates, this arose out of a special request so remember if the one you want is not there just ask.
As well as all of the standard items that are found in our Safety Statement Templates the new one for a Night club has topics such as Door Staff and Security, Bar and Cellar work, Small Food preparation, Noise in Entertainment, Special Effects and Indoor Pyrotechnics.
Its quite a comprehensive Safety Statement Template and should suit the majority of Nightclubs out there. The preview is available to view here as well as on the home page.

Happy New Year to all of our Customers. The good news for this year is that however small it may be, we have absorbed the VAT increase on all of our Safety Statement Templates!
In order to keep the price of a Safety Statement Template the same as in 2011 the price is now €113.13 plus VAT at 23%. Therefore the total cost of one of our Safety Statement Templates is still a very affordable €139.15.

As always we welcome your requests for any new Safety Statement Templates that are not already on our list.

We've been very busy here in the office for the last couple of weeks and missed putting up our Blog! Well we're back and this week we need to let you know about School Safety Statement Templates. At the moment the HSA Inspectors appear to be concentrating a lot of resources on the education sector. We are aware of several inspections that have taken place in our own area in the last few weeks. Having a Safety Statement within the School was a key requirement of the inspections. Some of you may have noticed that we don't have a School Safety Statement Template up on the site. Well this is not an accident or an oversight. The HSA provide a lot of free information and tools for both the education and farming sectors so we don't want to duplicate that.
However we have helped many schools out not by providing a School Safety Statement Template, but by providing Customised Safety Statements. If you are a school Principal or a Post Holder and you are in need of a Safety Statement just drop us an email and we will get back to you.

11th October 2011
Just one new Safety Statement Template going up this week. As we've had several requests for an Amusement Arcade Safety Statement Template that's the one we compiled.

A Preview of the Amusement Arcade Safety Statement Template can be viewed from a link on the homepage or here.

Well; over in the UK the much anticipated report on Health and Safety was finally published by Lord Young. There have been mixed reviews with some commentators saying it restores common sense, while others say it only panders to common misconceptions. Only time will tell. While there are no implications for us in Ireland from his review, it is posisble that our own Government could take on board some of the points he raised as we often follow the UK lead. For anybody who wishes to read the report a summary and some official comment can be found at http://www.cabinetoffice.gov.uk/newsroom/news_releases/2010/101015-young.aspx .

Hi Again. Just a few short notes this week. For those of you in the transport business we have revised and improved some of our Safety Statement Templates. The Safety Statement for "Haulage Sand Gravel" now includes a risk assessment on Concrete Deliveries and Concrete Pumping. This makes the Safety Statement ideal for any company that specialises in working or hauling in the construction sector.
For those who work in more general haulage, our Transport of Goods Safety Statement Template now includes a risk assessment on Dangerous or Hazardous goods. However it does allow that your DGSA will provide the specifics relating to the actual goods being carried.
As with all of our Safety Statements the previews are available on the homepage and we welcome suggestions or comments.

1st September 2010
Hi All! Thanks for taking the time to look over our site. This week we decided to provide a little more information about Safety Statements and Safety Statement Templates. If you're reading this then you either already have a Safety Statement or you need one.
The most important thing about your Safety Statement is that it reflects the activities of the business and the hazards in the business as closely as possible. This is where the Safety Statement Template comes in. We all know that a Restaurant will have hazards relating to knives and that a Dry Cleaners will have hazards relating to cleaning chemicals. However both businesses will have similar hazards when it comes to taking cash from customers or the Bullying of staff.
This is where our Safety Statement Template comes in. We have looked at a variety of businesses and devised a Safety Statement Template that recognises the differences and the common items within businesses.
All you need to do is download a Safety Statement Template, make the edits to match your business, approve the suggested control measures in the Risk Assessments and then save it. Once that's done its your Safety Statement and its ready to be given to any interested party.

25th August 2010

There is also a new Butcher Safety Statement that has risk assessments on Knives, Meat Slicers, Mincers, Band Saws and even insectocutors! We'll have more next week so don't forget to check back or to drop us an email if you need something in particular.
