If you have answered 'No' to any of the above questions your company may be breaking the law and they, Directors or senior management, could be facing criminal prosecution leading to unlimited fines and/or up to 2 years imprisonment per offence.

The company also faces other legal action such as the issue of Improvement or Enforcement Notices which could lead to the closure of the company.

In addition staff, customers and members of the public may be at risk of injury which could lead to massive claims for compensation and unwanted adverse publicity.

Many insurance companies now refuse to pay out on claims which result from a company's breach of Health and Safety Law.
