A service that helps construction businesses respond to health and safety investigations and avoid legal penalties.

Protecting Businesses from Health & Safety Investigations

This is one of the most heavily regulated sectors when it comes to health and safety. With strict compliance requirements under the Health & Safety at Work Act 1974, businesses must ensure they meet legal obligations. However, even with the best safety measures in place, incidents can occur, leading to regulatory scrutiny, investigations, and enforcement action from the Health & Safety Executive (HSE). Receiving an HSE Notice of Contravention (NoC) can be a serious issue for any construction business. It signifies that an inspector has identified a material breach of health and safety law, potentially resulting in enforcement action, financial penalties, or even criminal prosecution. If your business is facing an investigation, legal advice is essential to navigate the process effectively and protect your interests.
