Health & Safety

The importance of managing occupational health and safety and the ever more increasing emphasis on potential corporate and individual liability for health and safety offences entails that you need to be fully advised on how to ensure compliance with your statutory and common law obligations at all levels and at every stage.

Occupational health and safety also impacts upon the employment relationship and outsourcing, and you need to ensure that your contractual arrangements with employees and third parties allow you to comply with your obligations.

Our team can advise you on what will be required of you and your business to comply with your obligations and achieve effective health and safety at your place of work and in the activities of your undertaking.
