health & safety

We are proactive in helping businesses. We help them to avoid health and safety issues.
We can provide audit and review programmes to ensure that existing provisions are not only compliant with current law but also keeping abreast of legal developments.

The nature of a business (for example those involved in chemical processing or waste management) bring the combined duties of ensuring staff safety and environmental protection, so we work closely with our corporate, employment and environmental teams.

Our team members are experienced in dealing with issues arising from service of enforcement notices including bringing appeals when necessary. They regularly appear in the courts dealing with prosecutions brought by the Health and Safety Executive, Environmental Health Department and the Environment Agency. In addition, we bring and defend claims for compensation arising from workplace injury. We also assist in negotiating improved terms for employers’ liability insurance.
