Courts use the criminal sentencing guidelines to determine the level of fines and custodial sentences for health and safety offences for both businesses and individuals.
By reviewing your current processes, systems and procedures we can identify ways to help your business avoid a health and safety prosecution and the potential consequences. These may include fines, custodial sentences or in some cases personal prosecution of a senior manager or director within your company.
The Claims Defensibility and Regulatory team offer a wide range of training solutions including fraud identification, contractor management, health and safety governance and corporate manslaughter designed to allow you and your team develop and implement strategies to defend personal injury claims and avoid (or defend) regulatory action.
In addition to our expert-led risk management training options, our Claims Defensibility and Regulatory Practice can support your business by ensuring that you have the right policies, procedures and documentation in place. This will help you mount a robust defence against any liability claims and avoid or defend against actions from regulatory authorities, potentially reducing any fines.
