Over the past two days, the Port of Cork Company hosted six Health & Safety workshops in the Ringaskiddy Community Centre, delivered by James Gorry, Health & Safety Impact Keynote Speaker and Workplace Safety & Resilience Advocate.

James shared his experience and insights with our teams, reinforcing a core message that underpins all Port of Cork operations: that every employee goes home safe every day, as healthy and well as when they arrived.

We thank James for his impactful sessions and all employees who participated across the six workshops.
