What happens after an incident and how do you protect your people and your business? Businesses need to co-operate with investigating authorities but should also take steps to protect their position. Getting this delicate balance wrong can seriously affect the outcome of an investigation.

Our guide gives you introduction to health & safety law enforcement and procedure in Scotland. It includes a concise summary of:

• the roles of regulators (such as the HSE), the police and the Crown and Procurator Fiscal Service (COPFS) in health & safety law enforcement
• the actions which might be taken (including enforcement notices, prosecutions, fatal accident inquiries) and how to deal with those
• the possible outcomes

Our Health & Safety Team assists clients facing investigation by all of the investigating authorities in Scotland. If we can provide you with any further information, please do not hesitate to contact us:
