Framework (2 Generation) for the Provision of Health and Safety Training, Consultancy and Advisory Services to the Public Sector

The Office of Government Procurement

The Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 1989 covered occupational health and safety for all workers and all places of work.
The Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005, which repealed and replaced the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 1989, was brought in to make further provision for the safety, health and welfare of persons at work.
Under the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005 anyone at work who is responsible for directing workers while at work and organising work activities has health and safety responsibilities for those workers.
