Brief Preview:
On 22 October 2021 the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment, Leo Varadkar TD, published an updated Work Safely Protocol. This is the fourth revision since the Protocol was first published in May 2020 and follows shortly after the third revision that was published on 17 September 2021. It is based on recent public health advice received by the Government and follows the Government’s announcement on 19 October that public health advice would continue after 22 October.

The Protocol sets out the minimum measures required in all workplaces across all sectors. It was developed in consultation with employers and trade unions through the Labour Employer Economic Forum (LEEF). It is a dynamic document that is updated from time to time to reflect the most up-to-date public health advice from the National Public Health Emergency Team (NPHET) and the Department of Health.
