Courts use the criminal sentencing guidelines to determine the level of fines and custodial sentences for health and safety offences for both businesses and individuals.
By reviewing your current processes, systems and procedures we can identify ways to help your business avoid a health and safety prosecution and the potential consequences. These may include fines, custodial sentences or in some cases personal prosecution of a senior manager or director within your company.
Our Claims Defensibility and Regulatory Practice can support your business to ensure it has the right policies, procedures, and documentation in place to ensure that liability claims brought against you can be met with a robust defence, or any action from the regulatory authorities can be avoided or defended including helping to reduce any potential fine.

Our regulatory defensibility review will identify where present exposure to regulatory action exists and provide guidance on how existing systems and procedures can be improved.
The focus is on the existence, evidential value/weight and general availability of documentation or other evidence which would assist in avoiding or defending regulatory action.
Our claims defensibility review is a process of assessing your organisation’s ability to defend a civil claim for compensation arising from a public or employers’ liability claim, including COVID-19.
It will forensically examine the documentation, policies and procedures disclosable in the event of a claim and see how robust they are in defending claims.
