Draft Statement of Strategy (for Public Consultation)
Foreword
We are very pleased to present for public consultation this draft Statement of Strategy for workplace safety, health and welfare for the period 2010 to 2012.
Our draft strategy has been prepared with due regard for the legal duties of the Authority; for government programmes and priorities; for the EU strategy on safety, health and welfare at work; for the national and the European strategy on chemicals; and for international trends and practices.
This document gives an overview of our strategy and its key features. It also provides details of our vision and our mission, of the organisational values which underpin our work, and of the goals and the outcomes which we aim to achieve. We set out here a number of goals with their supporting strategies. The goals are the expression of our belief that only by their motivation and influence can we lead all concerned to the desired outcomes, sustained changes of behaviour.
This is a high-level strategy and it will be delivered by the annual programmes of work developed by the Authority. The annual programmes of work contain the key activities which will deliver the goals set out in this strategy.
We invite you now to comment on this draft document and to pass on to us any observations you may have. These will assist us in finalising our strategy which we will offer for adoption to the Board and for final consideration by the Minister. In particular, we would ask you to consider the following questions:
- Are the outcomes of our strategy appropriate?
- Is our chosen mission, to bring about change by influencing the behaviour of employers and employees, the best approach?
- Are the goals and associated strategies the best possible for the Irish workforce and their employers?
- Is our approach to making people accountable and our focus on those who disregard their duties and responsibilities appropriate?
- Is our goal and strategy for the management of chemicals the correct approach?
- Is our strategy compatible with the significant changes facing the country: economic downturn, loss of jobs in key sectors and the changing composition of the workforce and will it position us appropriately for when economic growth resumes?
We look forward to hearing your views.
Martin O’Halloran
Chief Executive Officer
