A new section has been added to HandS Health & Safety Resources that may be of interest to you.
Prosecution Results contains examples of prosecutions, fines and compensatory payouts in a number of trades, settings and circumstances, and they are provided as an adjunct to your research on related issues. They may be helpful to you in presentations to safety committee or managerial meetings, or in your efforts to illustrate points and progress issues in your workplace. For example, they could be of help to you in elaborating the need for thorough risk assessments, or for training that has not taken place. More recent cases may also be of interest to solicitors handling similar cases. The section is fully searchable (keywords) and will be updated as often as possible.
The cases have been compiled from issues of Risks newsletter and my thanks go to Rory O’Neill, editor of Hazards magazine, and to Hugh Robertson, Senior Health & Safety Officer for the Trades Union Congress (TUC) for their kind permission to reprint the material.
A new link button to the section is located on the HandS home page, on the left side near the top.
Thank you for your continued interest and support, as HandS approaches it’s 5th year on the Net.
