Health and safety prosecutions
Every business is responsible for safeguarding the health and safety of anyone affected by its activities, such as employees, customers or visitors to their premises.
The risks to health and safety can differ widely between sectors and individual businesses but whatever the nature of your business, putting procedures in place to avoid health and safety breaches is essential. In the most serious cases, health and safety failures can lead to injury or even death, as well as to potential fines and imprisonment – including liability for corporate manslaughter in some instances.
Prosecutions can be made against organisations, the management and/or employees for failing to follow the myriad of health and safety rules and regulations. If you or your company are faced with an investigation on health and safety issues, it is important to seek legal advice as early as possible to ensure your interests are protected.
