Health and Safety
Directors and proprietors are now facing fines and imprisonment for offences, for which they may not have even considered themselves liable.
Companies and other employers are facing growing fines following prosecution. Even more worrying is a spell in prison.
We advise and support companies and individuals being investigated or prosecuted under health and safety legislation. We also work with insurers.
A conviction under Health and Safety Legislation will have serious consequences for any subsequent civil claims. By involving our specialist lawyers at an early stage, it may be possible to limit both the direct and indirect consequences of a serious accident. We respond immediately in the event of an emergency such as an accident anywhere in England and Wales.
We recognise that prevention is less expensive than cure. With end to end systems in place, your business and staff will be ready for any health and safety problems that may arise.
