Health and Safety Explained

The aim of Health and Safety Law is to prevent accidents occurring in the workplace. The enforcement of H & S legislation differs from most areas of Employment Law in that breach of health and safety statute usually results in criminal liability. However, this does not stop the injured party from pursuing a claim for damages in the event of an accident.
