Health and safety law encompasses the regulations and statutes designed to ensure the health, safety, and welfare of individuals in the workplace.
The primary goal is to prevent workplace accidents, injuries, and illnesses by establishing a framework for safe and healthy working conditions. Should you be accused of a health and safety failure, you are at risk of being prosecuted and as a result, receiving a major court fine. Ensuring compliance with health and safety regulations is not just a legal requirement but a critical aspect of running a successful business. Whether you’re facing an investigation, need guidance on compliance, or are dealing with a potential prosecution, our experienced team is here to protect your business and its reputation.
Gepp Solicitors are experienced in dealing with intensive investigations and authorities, to ensure that your case is dealt with correctly. Our solicitors are specialists in health and safety law, with deep knowledge of the regulations and standards that govern workplace safety in the UK. From construction sites to corporate offices, we understand the specific challenges different industries face and provide tailored legal advice that ensures compliance and minimises risk.
Our specialist solicitors can help you with a health and safety court case, or if an incident could potentially lead to proceedings. We can represent you if you’re arrested or charged with a crime in connection with health and safety violations, including if you need representation at a police station. We provide robust defence strategies, challenge the evidence, and advocate strongly on your behalf to achieve the best possible result.
