  • A Comparative Study of How the National Park Services in the United States of America and the Republic of Ireland Approach Health and Safety
    A Comparative Study of how the National Park Services in the United States of America and the Republic of Ireland Approach Health and Safety by Karen Sutton B.Sc. Submitted in part fulfilment of the HETAC requirements of the award of Master of Science in Environmental Health and Safety Management at Institute of Technology, Sligo September 2008 Supervised by: Guy Marsden Declaration I declare that I am the sole author of this thesis and that all the work presented is my own, unless otherwise referenced. I also declare that this work has not been submitted in whole or part, to any other university or college for any degree or qualification. Signed: Date a $ t rf f o j i ABSTRACT This project is a comparison study of how the United States of America and the Republic of Ireland park services manage health and safety in their National Parks. The project looks at the legislation of both countries, how the National Parks approach safety for both employees and visitors and how the two park service’s record incidents. By comparing the two countries approach to health and safety at National Parks it should be possible to discern if one country has a system that is working better than the other country’s. It then may be possible to use that country’s system as a template for the other country. By analyzing both systems it may be possible to identify issues in the current procedures in health and safety that need to be reassessed. Also, on an international scale the different park services may use this study to adapt their health and safety programme.
