Mayo team wins All Ireland safety quiz title

Published:

A Mayo-based team has claimed top honours at the 51st All Ireland Occupational Safety Quiz finals, held in Cavan.

ShareRidge Ltd. were crowned champions in the Previous Entrants Category, while BioMarin from Co. Cork secured first place in the Novice Category.

The All Ireland Occupational Safety Quiz finals is run jointly by the National Irish Safety Organisation (NISO) and the Northern Ireland Safety Group (NISG). Fifteen teams competed from all parts of the island of Ireland.

The results in the Previous Entrants Category finals were very close with the two top scoring teams battling it out for first place in a tie-break round.

Bord na Móna, Co. Offaly, and ShareRidge from Mayo both finished with 109 points each (out of a maximum of 128 marks), with ShareRidge winning the tie-break round to claim the title.

Fergal McKevitt, president, National Irish Safety Organisation, and Wendy Moore, chair, Northern Ireland Safety Group, presented the awards at a special prize-giving dinner.

Mr. McKevitt commended all the quiz teams, noting that each participant should be proud of their efforts to improve occupational health and safety. He also thanked the participating organisations’ managers for the support and encouragement shown to their teams.
