Health and Safety Legislation

• 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.
