Health & Safety

Protect your people. Protect your business. With Purpletree, compliance becomes confidence, and safety becomes second nature.

Clear guidance, built around your workplace.

Health & Safety Policies

We create workplace health and safety policies that meet all legal requirements under the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005 and HSA guidelines, while keeping in mind the culture of your business. Whether you operate in construction or professional services, the result is policies that are not only compliant but also practical, accessible, and easy for your team to follow. Should an incident occur, we also provide impartial investigation support to identify root causes and prevent recurrence.

  • Ensure compliance with Irish health and safety legislation.
  • Provide employees with clear, accessible guidance.
  • Create policies that work in practice, not just on paper.

Health & Safety Audits

Staying on top of health and safety compliance isn’t just a legal obligation — it’s how you protect your people, your business, and your reputation. Our expert Safety Audits give you a clear, honest picture of where your organisation stands, identifying gaps before they become incidents, fines, or worse.

We review your safety statement, risk assessments, training and maintenance records, incident logs, and previous inspection reports — then follow this with a thorough site walkthrough and direct consultation with your employees to get a real feel for the health and safety culture on the ground. You’ll receive a plain-English report outlining our findings, recommended corrective actions, and any areas of immediate concern, giving you a clear roadmap to full compliance and a safer workplace.

  • Comprehensive review of your safety statement, risk assessments, and key records
  • Site walkthrough and employee consultation for an accurate, on-the-ground assessment
  • Clear, actionable report with findings, corrective actions, and priority concerns highlighted
  • Identify compliance gaps before they result in incidents, penalties, or regulatory intervention
  • Build a stronger health and safety culture that protects your people and your business
Proactive protection for your organisation.

Risk Mitigation & Compliance Support

Our expert health and safety consultants work with you to design and implement measures that minimise hazards and prevent incidents. With a proactive approach aligned to HSA enforcement standards, you will avoid improvement and prohibition notices, reduce legal exposure, and build a culture where safety is prioritised. We also help manage contractor safety, including pre-qualification checks, site-specific inductions, and ongoing performance monitoring to ensure all parties meet their H&S duties.

  • Prevent accidents before they happen.
  • Minimise legal and financial risks.

Safety Statements

Under Section 20 of the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005, every employer in Ireland is legally required to have a written safety statement. We create safety statements that are fully compliant with HSA requirements, easy to understand, and practical for day-to-day use. By setting out clear responsibilities and procedures — closely linked to your broader employment law obligations — we help you meet legal standards and create a safer workplace for all.

  • Achieve full compliance with HSA requirements.
  • Provide clarity on roles, responsibilities, and procedures.
  • Build a safer workplace with clear, actionable documentation.
