Ugly Mugs

Safe IQ Ugly Mugs is a free safety scheme for workers in Ireland. It improves the safety of workers by bringing workers together to share information about potential dangers.

It is free and it is available to all workers in Ireland. Please note our geographic focus is Ireland (Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland). If you are working in another jurisdiction you should look for a safety scheme that covers your region.
