Ref # 2025001-05
Status Open / In progress
Occurrence Operational irregularity at Clontarf Road on the 1st May 2024
Occurrence Date 01 May 2024

Basis for Recommendation

After the initial incident had occurred, the PICOP and Handsignalman continued to place the detonator protection. As the IÉ Rule Book does not define a general requirement to suspend work or return to a place of safety for those working on the infrastructure.

Recommendation

IÉ-IM to review the IÉ Rule Book instructions, and associated training materials applicable to IÉ-IM staff, for actions to be taken, in situations where a safe system of work is compromised.
