Mayo team crowned All-Ireland Safety Quiz Champions

A Mayo based team has claimed top honours at the 51st All Ireland Safety Quiz Finals, held in Cavan on Saturday, April 18. ShareRidge Ltd who are based in Castlebar, Co Mayo were crowned champions in the Previous Entrants Category, while BioMarin, 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). A total of 15 teams competed from all parts of the island of Ireland.

There was a great turnout at the event held at the Cavan Crystal Hotel, Co Cavan, with great support for the participating teams from their co-workers.

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, Co Mayo, both finished with 109 points each (out of a maximum of 128 marks). ShareRidge Ltd won the tie-break round to claim the title of All Ireland Safety Quiz Champions in the Previous Entrants category. The other seven teams in this category performed strongly also.

Fergal McKevitt, President, National Irish Safety Organisation and Wendy Moore, Chair, Northern Ireland Safety Group presented the awards and trophies at a special prize-giving dinner that evening and congratulated all participating teams.

Mr McKevitt commended all the quiz teams, noting that each and every 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.
