It’s important you work with a law firm that understands there’s no room for error and can help you meet your commercial goals whilst mitigating the risk of a breach.
Health and Safety
One of the challenges of health and safety compliance is the sheer number of obligations a business owner has. There are different standards and specific legal requirements for health and safety compliance – the law is also regularly changing.
The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 is the primary legislation for workplace safety in the UK. This imposes a general duty on employers to ensure the health and safety of their employees and the public. Non-compliance with health and safety regulations could lead to a criminal offence, so our experts will support and guide you through the complex regulations and guide you through what actions your business needs to take to be compliant.
Our team of experts offers health and safety regulation support, including:
- Crisis support
- Audits
- Inspection support
- Fire risk assessments
- Training
