Health & Safety

Health & Safety is a core part of all of our business activities.

In Summary, Duggan Brothers has a certified Health & Safety Management System, based on the requirements of National & European Legislation.

The company’s OH&S management system is validated by independent certification on an annual basis, both by NSAI for ISO 45001 and by Safe-T-Cert, and the retention of this certification requires evidence of continuous improvement by the company in all areas related to occupational health & safety management and performance.
