Robust health and safety services are crucial when things go wrong.
Accidents happen and when they do, we are there to help our clients to pick up the pieces.
Our team handles every type of health and safety-related incident, from serving enforcement notices and fees for intervention issues, right through to corporate manslaughter investigations.
We provide 24-hour nationwide health and safety services for on-site teams and senior management, whatever the issue. If needed, we can be quickly on-site, helping to handle the aftermath of a serious incident.
When working with our clients we:
- support those involved in an incident;
- deal with the press and the public;
- liaise with the police or the Health & Safety Executive in their investigations;
- carry out any internal investigation; and
- make sure our clients’ business interests are protected.
