Health & Safety Law
Health & Safety issues are relevant in every workplace, and, for some businesses, have the highest profile. At Furley Page we believe prevention is better than cure and we are able to offer up front, simple and comprehensive advice to ensure compliance with Health & Safety Legislation.
A member of our Health & Safety team belongs to the Health and Safety Lawyers’ Association and are able to offer clients independent advisory and training services. By adopting a realistic and pragmatic approach and working within legal and financial constraints, we can help you to achieve the maximum benefit through effective management of Health & Safety issues.
We also recognise that it is not always possible to ensure compliance 100% of the time and are able to assist and advise on Health & Safety investigations and prosecutions including advice on the following:
- Alleged breaches of Health and Safety Legislation
- Corporate manslaughter under The Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act 2007
- Interviews under caution (PACE interviews)
- Advice and representation in Health & Safety prosecutions in all Courts
- Prohibition Notices
- Improvement Notices
- Reporting incidents under the Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations 1995 (RIDDOR Reports)
