Safety, Health and Welfare at
Work Act 2005 |
|
|
| |
|
|
 |
The effect of the newly updated Safety, Health and
Welfare at Work Act 2005 (Dail Eireann) is to require a beach or a pool operator
(manager, owner/s, directors) to ensure
that lifeguards are sufficient in number, adequately trained, and effectively
organised on the beaches and in the pools under their control and for which they
are responsible.
