Accident Scene Management Training.


In the event of a prosecution by the HSE for an alleged breach of health & safety the company may well have to prove itself innocent of the charge rather than simply relying on challenging the HSE’s evidence. This little known concept – known legally as the reverse burden of proof – can be a major hurdle if the company had not taken steps to gather evidence at the time of the accident. It can take many months before the HDSE finally issue a decision regarding prosecution, and attempting to build a viable defence case after such a significant delay could prove extremely difficult (if not impossible). The issue is compounded by the fact that the courts have the power to levy £multi-million fines in certain cases and can also impose custodial sentences as appropriate on directors/ senior managers. It’s therefore prudent to invest in training beforehand rather than risk significant fines and/ or imprisonment if an accident occurs and you can’t prove your innocence.
