Menopause symptoms typically affect women aged between their late 30s to late 50s and can seriously affect their life. In Ireland, the average age a woman reaches menopause is 51.

Employers have a general statutory duty of care under the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005 (2005 Act) to ‘ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, the safety, health and welfare at work of his or her employees’. When it comes to fire safety, the person in control to any extent of the workplace should ensure a safe workplace to include safe access, safe egress and safe articles or substances if they’re stored onsite. If your business occupies and uses a building to which members of the public are admitted, you also need to consider the Fire Services Acts (1981 and 2003) which impose further statutory duties in respect of fire safety on persons who have control of such premises. There are also various Codes of Practice which include guidance on managing fire safety in sector specific settings.
