We have extensive experience in Workplace Health & Safety law.  We assist a range of clients across industries as diverse as transport and logistics, manufacturing and health care with issues in workplace health and safety.

Our services include:

• Managing the initial response to a critical incident, including investigation and reporting, providing the protection of legal privilege and the advantage of early intervention
• Managing your response to an investigation including liaising about preliminary notices, records of interview and information provision.
• Representation in proceedings resulting in prosecution.
• Consulting on systems, processes and procedures to identify risk areas, improve compliance, suggest process changes and minimise risk.

We have successfully negotiated the withdrawal of prosecutions in a number of cases.  Where prosecutions cannot be defended, we have assisted employers with minimising penalties and undertaking negotiations with the prosecution to ensure that the charge is resolved efficiently on the best terms possible for the employer.

We also provide regular advice to our employer clients on general workplace health and safety issues and how to minimise long term exposure to liability from workplace risk. Our commitment to understanding our client’s business and potential risks combined with our extensive experience in dealing with claims and prosecutions gives us a unique insight enabling us to assist and support you further.
