Health And Safety

Accurate, reliable advice on your health and safety issues

Health and safety compliance in the workplace has never been more rigorously enforced than in recent years. In Northern Ireland there are currently 33 primary statutes in operation, and over 200 statutory regulations. This avalanche of Health and Safety legislation shows no signs of abating.

In addition, there have been 75 fatal accidents, 3,107 ‘major’ accidents, and 18,273 separate accidents in the last five year period. What this means if you are an employer is reduced staffing levels, decreased productivity, increased insurance claims, fines of up to £100,000 and even imprisonment.

Against this background it is quite clearly essential that as an employer or occupier you have access to accurate and reliable advice in respect of all matters concerning the regulation of your businesses by the health and safety legislation.

We at Campbell Fitzpatrick have many years experience in providing strategic and proactive advice relevant to your specific business, including:

• If an accident has occurred in the course of your work
• If an accident has occurred in your business and you are being investigated by the HSENI, and
• If you are being prosecuted we can defend you.

If you require advice and guidance on this area of the law, contact us today to discuss your individual circumstances. Your initial consultation meeting is free.
