Crisis Management specialists
With dedicated regulatory, safety, health and environmental experts located across the UK and Ireland, we are able to provide immediate advice, support and representation, drawing on our local knowledge of the police, inspectors, coroners and courts. We provide advice on all aspects of an incident including: - Coordinating with the police, regulatory body and coroner during their investigations, - Legal privilege, - Providing proactive advice on responding to enforcement notices, - HSE fees for interventions, - Attending interviews under caution, - Drafting written representations to regulatory bodies, - Supporting and assisting employees who are required to provide statements to the police, regulatory bodies and the coroner .
Organisations and individuals face increased scrutiny following accidents in the workplace, resulting in police and regulatory investigations and criminal prosecutions for breaches of health and safety legislation. This brings the potential for significant fines, reputational damage and custodial sentences, together with the focus of a coroner’s inquest in fatal incidents.
