Services > Legal Advice

Operating in the rapidly changing regulatory environment for health and safety can often be difficult. At Healthforce Ltd we are aware that occasionally despite best efforts to maintain safe systems of work employers are at risk of potential litigation and prosecution.

In relation to Health & Safety Prosecutions, we can arrange for representation of clients if prosecuted for a regulatory breach through all stages of the process from the service of an improvement notice right through to Trial.  We work with our clients to achieve the best all round resolution to any dispute which may arise in the organisation. 

How can HealthForce help you?

We can provide advice on the following areas: 

• Prohibition and improvement notices
• General requirements under the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005 and other supplementary pieces of legislation under both Irish and EU law
• Employer liability claims from stress at the workplace to a broken finger nail!
• Public liability claims from simple slips and trips to occupiers’ liability cases. 
• Road traffic – from civil claims for personal injury and property damage to criminal prosecutions.
• Fatal Accident Inquiries and investigation – from practical guidance from the initial accident, through the investigation and procedural aspects of the Hearing, to representation at a Fatal Accident Inquiry itself.

Our goal is to work with our clients to help manage the possible legal implications from health and safety issues which are increasingly prominent in the current changing organisational culture of Safety, Health and Welfare at Work in Ireland.  Click here to contact us with your query.
