Work stoppages were due to commence on Monday

DSG’s managing director Pat Brennan told The Times earlier this week that the company “operates rigorous health and safety policies, procedures and training at its operations in Dublin Port”. The man was killed instantly when a six-metre steel column fell on top of him shortly after he had been using a blow torch to separate it from a larger metal structure at the McKearns Yard, at Ocean Pier. An investigation was carried out by the HSA, which subsequently brought charges against the Doyle Shipping Group Unlimited.

“I would encourage employers and worker representatives including trade unions to fully engage with each other on any issues of concern in the workplace especially issues around workplace health and safety.” #Open journalism No news is bad news Support The Journal Your contributions will help us continue to deliver the stories that are important to you“It is no longer feasible to deal with safety on a company-by-company basis as this is an industry problem,” she said.
