Health and Safety Law Update
As health, safety and environment issues take on greater significance in today’s litigious society, lawyers, consultants and advisors are coming to appreciate the crucial position that they play in preventing accidents and illnesses and, in many cases, investigating, regulating and litigating these matters before the courts.
Lawyers from a variety of backgrounds including litigation, environmental law, workplace relations and health and safety need to be familiar with all the current issues that they are in the best possible position to advise their clients. HSE managers and representatives need to understand their legal position but also what practical steps to take should an incident occur. Consultants and advisors are being called upon to explain how the legislation works in practice and what preventative steps organisations should be taking.
