Safety Statement
for Féile Iorras, Béal an Mhuirthead
It is the policy of the Féile Iorras to protect, as far as is reasonably practicable, the safety, health and welfare of all its voluntary workers, contractors, sub-contractors, performers, audience and committee members.
We are committed to your safety. We ensure that all events take place in buildings with Fire Safety Certificates and all other relevant safety licences, processes and procedures, and we highlight all emergency exits at each event. We control the numbers of people that can attend an event with a ticket booking system and stewards at each event ensure compliance with ticketing.
You must also take care over the things you do, to make sure that you don't affect other people's safety along with your own.
This Safety Statement
- Is aimed at protecting our Performers, our customers and our voluntary workers from accidents and ill health during Feile Iorras.
- Shall be brought to the attention of performers, customers, voluntary workers and outside service providers
- Is available to inspectors of the Health and Safety Authority
- Will be updated as and when additional hazards are identified and assessed
- Will be reviewed at least annually.
The Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005
The Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005 requires both employers and employees to consider health and safety as a joint responsibility. The co-operation of all concerned is sought to ensure that the highest standards of health and safety are maintained in the church and other parochial property.
There is a statutory obligation on all employees, performers, volunteers and visitors to co-operate with Feile Iorras and to take reasonable care of their own health and safety and of others who may be affected by their acts or omissions.
Details of Safety Statement:
A copy of the full safety statement may be inspected upon request to the Chairman.
Saftey Sub Group
The Feile recognises its statutory obligations to consult with employees and voluntary workers on matters of safety and health and to pay due regard to any representations made by them. All appropriate information and training is afforded them on matters of safety and health.
Any employee or voluntary worker engaged in such consultative process is not placed at any disadvantage.
Consultation takes place in the ambit of the Feile Iorras Committee, as a Safety Subgroup under the chairmanship of Feile Iorras. Meetings are held as an integral part of the Feile Iorras meetings, which take place monthly for nine months of the year.
Any matters directly affecting employees or voluntary workers are communicated to them by any means deemed appropriate.
Evacuation Procedures / Safety Equipment
The Feile maintains suitable fire and emergency evacuation procedures for all events.
Signs, emergency lighting, notices and other aids are provided and maintained as deemed appropriate. Fire extinguishers are placed in appropriate prominent positions and are inspected, tested and maintained in accordance with the installer's recommendations.
Safety Inspections
Feile Iorras requires that copies of safety inspections of all properties used for events are made available to the committee. The Chairman, or an appointed delegate will inspect these reports before events are agreed with the host property.
