Health and Safety

Responsibility for the enforcement of health and safety matters is split between the Health and Safety Executive; the precise allocation of responsibility is governed by the Health and Safety (Enforcing Authority) Regulations 1998.

The Health and Safety regime is deliberately severe and imposes a requirement on companies and individuals to prove that they have done all that is reasonably practicable to prevent accidents.

If you are investigated for a breach of health and safety legislation, it can be a confusing and stressful experience, but we can help you. In particular, we can provide advice in relation to responding to investigations by regulatory organisations, dealing with prohibition and improvement notices and representation at criminal proceedings in the event of a prosecution.

Please call us on 01252 617119 to find out how we can assist you.
