Overview
McCann FitzGerald’s health and safety specialists advise on all aspects of health & safety matters. We advise on compliance, defence of prosecutions and have particular experience of working closely with clients as they deal with the impact of an accident in the workplace. We provide advice to clients on how changes to European and Irish health & safety legislation governing the area affect the obligations imposed on them both in terms of their employees and their contractual obligations with others particularly in construction projects.
Expertise
European and Irish health and safety legislation governing the area is under constant revision. We provide advice to clients on how such changes affect the obligations imposed on them both in terms of their employees and their contractual obligations with others particularly in construction projects. We also have close links with the Construction Industry Federation in relation to health & safety.
Although our specialists' experience was originally grounded in construction we have experience across all industry sectors including manufacturing, retail, banking, transport and healthcare. In each of these industry sectors we provide advice to businesses regarding their statutory obligations to employees and to members of the public who may be affected by the operation of the business.

For many commentators, McCann FitzGerald boasts the premier construction team in the Irish market. Summed up by clients, the group is "technically excellent and responsive, and brings a really deep knowledge of the construction and insurance industries to the table." Clients praise the firm's "great diversity of practice," and point out that the department houses "a real variety of talent." Chambers, 2010
