Here in Naas General Hospital (NGH) we are committed to maintaining a safe and healthy environment. We do this for our patients, their families, employees, staff, visitors, and contractors.

Our Health and Safety Management System adheres to the guidelines established by the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act of 2005. It is aligned with relevant Health Service Executive (HSE) policies and guidance.

We update our systems and communicate changes in practices and legislation to our staff and other parties as necessary.

According to the law, everyone at work is responsible for health and safety, as stated in the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005. At NGH, we identify health and safety risks through an established incident and accident reporting system.

In compliance with Section 20 of the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005, we maintain a Safety Statement that is available for inspection.

Health and safety and risk management are connected to quality. They help create a culture of continuous improvement for everyone: patients, visitors, employees, staff, and contractors. We put in place quality methodologies to advance our health and safety initiatives effectively.
