Health & Safety legislation is heavy stuff, but defaulting is criminal and is backed with heavy prison sentences and unlimited fines.
Companies can be closed with prohibition notices.
Insurances may be void without Health & Safety compliance and claims refused.
Some companies have even been sued by their employees for not applying due diligence to their safety and welfare!
Environmental Officers have a right to enter and inspect any premises. They will look for a general knowledge and awareness of the Health & Safety at Work Act and the duties imposed on employers and employees.
