Health & Safety Investigations
Health and safety procedures are crucial to the daily operations of any business or organisation. In the UK, prosecution for non-compliance can be highly detrimental to any company or individual. At Holborn Adams, we not only help our clients comply with the latest regulations and reforms, but succesfully deal with investigations if and when they happen.
What is the HSE in the UK?
The HSE has several options for enforcing health and safety laws, ranging from providing advice to initiating prosecution. They may also withdraw approvals or vary licenses, which can cause big problems for the organisation and its leaders. Depending on the enforcement action taken, there may be a right to challenge or appeal the decision.
What Do I Do in the Event of a Health and Safety Investigation?
Penalties for breaching health and safety laws can be severe, whether the breach occurs intentionally or through ignorance. For instance, if an injury occurs as a direct result of a workplace accident, the HSE may be swift to initiate criminal proceedings.
If your business is under investigation for health and safety violations, it is crucial to act quickly and seek advice from an expert in health and safety law, like Holborn Adams. Our team of solicitors boast extensive knowledge in this field and can guide and support you through the process, ensuring that the right decisions are made at every step.
