Health & Safety

Expert legal advice on health & safety law

Health and safety must be an integral part of every organisation’s strategy. And yet too many employers fail to take action to prevent potentially costly breaches of health and safety law.

At Stone King we firmly believe that prevention is better than cure.  But we will also defend your organisation if you are alleged to have breached workplace regulations.

Our advisory service

Our team of expert lawyers provide specialised, pragmatic and practical legal advice to employers, giving you peace of mind that you are complying with existing health and safety legislation.  

We will also keep you up to date with the ever changing health and safety landscape.

Our solicitors are well qualified to help you reduce the administrative and financial burden of workplace regulation, and advise you on the extent of your responsibilities under health and safety legislation.

We can offer you a comprehensive review of your existing health and safety policy and procedures, and help you establish a simple and cost effective health and safety framework. We are also able to offer ad hoc, straightforward and proactive legal advice about particular workplace risks or situations that could bring you into conflict with the regulations.

Providing a place of safe employment is not just a requirement in law, it also makes good business sense. The costs associated with work related ill health and injury can be substantial in any occupation.

Our defence service

We also understand that it may not always be possible to ensure compliance with health and safety regulations 100 per cent of the time. After all, no occupation is risk free.

Our specialist solicitors can advise in respect of any investigations or prosecutions being carried out by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) or other prosecuting authority. We can advise you at every stage, right from the start of a workplace investigation, to include attending interviews under caution, through to the conclusion of any court proceedings that may follow a breach of health and safety law.

But we also believe that with the best professional advice and negotiation strategies it is often possible to avoid the need for court proceedings, and the negative publicity and costs that can result.

Our specialist solicitors, who are members of the Health and Safety Lawyers Association and the Institute of Occupational Safety and Health, offer a national, quality service from our offices in Bath, London, Cambridge and Melksham.
