Myths and Facts
1. Health & Safety is just red tape! - The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) will enforce the law through the criminal justice system, making "out of court" settlements impossible.
2. The HSE must prove I did wrong! - H&S law carries a reverse burden of proof, making you (the defendant) guilty until proven innocent!
3. Insurance will cover me! - Check your insurance, most only offer partial cover for YOUR costs only. You cannot insure against any fine imposed, Insurers rarely cover Crown Court Cases. Most Public liability will not offer cover without a H&S policy, as it is a legal requirement.
4. If found Guilty I will only get a Fine! - When a company is found guilty a Fine & costs are imposed. Often over £10k From January 2009 the courts can imprison individuals for breaches of H&S Law.
5. Fines are small! - Fatal accidents regularly result in Fines of £250K Non injuries claims attract fines over £10K 2007/2008 average fine for H&S Offence was £12,896.
6. Prosecutions are Rare! In the last 9 years 17,000 prosecutions were brought by the HSE. 79% were successful.
7. Accepting an HSE notice has no real consequences! - All notices are made public record. 145,000 have been issued since the year 2000.
