Ireland Health & Safety — New Catalogue

We are launching a brand-new library of 15 health and safety courses written specifically for the Irish market, aligned to the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005, the General Application Regulations 2007, and HSA (Health and Safety Authority) standards. These courses are available from 30 June 2026.

Why these courses are different

These are not UK health and safety courses with minor edits. Every course cites specific Irish legislation, references the HSA directly, and is written for the obligations that apply to employers and employees in Ireland. If your workforce includes Irish-based employees, these courses are the appropriate compliance training.
