Health and safety law applies to all employers, to protect their employees and others who may be affected by the running of their business.  

 As well as being very distressing for all involved, a major accident or incident within an organisation will likely cause repercussions for years to come through lengthy investigations by the authorities, including the police and Health and Safety Executive in the UK, and potential legal action.

In this podcast Clare Bone and Tony Jones KC discuss what happens when they are asked to represent clients in criminal or civil proceedings. Using examples from real scenarios they outline the key steps that any organisation needs to be aware of should the worst happen.
