Devonshires’ Health and Safety Team is frequently asked to advise and assist clients in respect of regulatory compliance and threatened or actual prosecutions. We advise on the general requirements of health and safety law. We draft, revise and audit health and safety policies and compliance regimes. We offer advice on the suitability of risk assessments. If the Health and Safety Executive or other prosecuting authority threatens or commences a prosecution, we represent clients from the very first meeting to the conclusion of court action. We also act for clients in civil actions who face potential liabilities. We train board members, executives and staff in how an organisation can ensure it is complying with its health and safety obligations.
Due to the close interface between health and safety law and the care sector, Devonshires’ Health and Safety Team also advise on regulatory requirements arising from care legislation such as the Health and Social Care Act 2008 and the duties a care organisation must undertake in order to obtain and keep registration by the Care Quality Commission. We advise on how you can streamline your organisation so as to ensure compliance with both health and safety law and care legislation without unnecessary duplication. In the event of a threatened or actual prosecution, we can represent you from the very beginning to the very end of the claim.
For advice on health and safety related care services please contact Mark London.
