A Sligo-based Senator has called on Senators from all parties to support the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work (Extreme Weather) Bill.

Labour's workers' rights spokesperson, Senator Nessa Cosgrove, will introduce the Bill in the Seanad on Wednesday.

The Bill would require employers to include weather conditions in workplace risk assessments and implement an extreme weather response plan to protect staff.

Senator Cosgrove says workers should never have to take unnecessary risks because their employer has failed to plan for dangerous weather.

The North West based Labour party member is urging employers to take responsibility for assessing those risks and giving staff clear, safe instructions before conditions deteriorate.
