CIF is hosting a Directors’ health and safety responsibilities webinar on April 25 @ 2:30 pm - 3:30 pm.
Health and safety laws impose specific obligations on organizations and employers, and directors can be held personally accountable if these obligations are not met. In industries such as construction, where safety risks are inherent, these responsibilities carry significant importance. In essence, board members are jointly and individually responsible for ensuring health and safety compliance. This session will examine these responsibilities and strategies for effectively addressing them.
Speaker: Clare Cashin, Partner, Philip Lee Solicitors
Clare is a partner in the Projects and Construction group of commercial law firm, Philip Lee LLP. She specialises in disputes and regulatory matters within construction. She is a noted health and safety law practitioner in the construction industry, has many years of experience in advising clients and representing them in health and safety prosecutions. She lectures in Trinity College Dublin and University College Dublin on the statutory regimes. She sits on the committee of the Health & Safety Lawyers Association of Ireland and contributes to various periodicals on the subject.
The CIF is the Irish construction industry’s representative body. It provides a broad range of services that assist members in navigating the political, business, economic and regulatory environment.
