Public Consultation
Health and Safety Authority's Statement of Strategy 2019-2021

The Health and Safety Authority is preparing a strategy statement for the three year period 2019-2021, under Section 43 of the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005. While the strategy specifically focuses on the period 2019 to 2021 the vision, mission and values have relevance for a longer time horizon out to 2025.

The Authority has opened a public consultation process and interested parties are asked to make written observations on the draft Statement. The final document will be presented Pat Breen TD Minister of State for Trade, Employment, Business, EU Digital Single Market and Data Protection.

The draft strategy is presented in a short bullet point format as a powerpoint presentation containing the key elements. The final stategy statement will be presented in a word format and will include additional contextual information and a review of the outcomes and effectiveness of the current strategy period (2016-2018). The statement will further specify the manner in which the Authority proposes to assess its performance in respect of the goals it sets. This strategy statement will continue many important programmes and initiatives by the authority started under earlier strategy statements.

Feedback on the draft statement should be emailed to strategy@hsa.ie not later than Tuesday 8th May 2018.
