As an employer and a UK business, you have a legal duty to manage the health and safety of your workers and those who may be affected by the operation of your business, such as your customers, contractors, suppliers and visitors. Failure to fulfil your legal duty can have serious consequences and lead to an unlimited fine and/or imprisonment.

With LegalVision’s Health and Safety at Work Advisory Service, our experienced solicitors will provide a comprehensive risk management and compliance framework to enable businesses to comply with their ongoing legal obligations. 

Our team can provide support on a wide range of matters, including:

  • compliance advice and guidance on how to comply with your legal obligations. This includes advice on the specific legislative requirements that may apply to your business, and advice on your reporting duties under Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations (RIDDOR);
  • an audit of your policies and systems, including health & safety policy, homeworking policy, lone working policy, stress and mental well-being at work policy;
  • providing you with risk assessment tools, including a risk register, risk assessment and compliance checklists to minimise the risk of workplace accidents and help manage ill health as a result of work-related accidents;
  • working with you on a framework for keeping the necessary health and safety information and records (including hazard register, control measures, etc.); and
  • providing training for your managers and workers to ensure they meet their legal requirements regarding workplace health and occupational safety.

We can help your business meet its legal obligations, whether you are:

  • a fully remote business;
  • a hybrid or an office-based business;
  • a warehouse, shop, café or restaurant. 

LegalVision’s Health & Safety at Work solicitors will guide you through your legal responsibilities and help you to manage the risks in your workplace.

How LegalVision Can Help

Experienced Health and Safety Lawyers

Health and safety risks change as a business grows. A new site, warehouse, customer-facing location or larger workforce can introduce risks that were not present in a smaller operation. The same applies when a business changes how and where people work, engages more contractors or expands into activities with different operational hazards.

Taking advice before those changes are implemented gives management more scope to design appropriate systems, allocate responsibilities and identify gaps before they become embedded in day-to-day operations. Our health and safety lawyers work with businesses to assess their legal obligations against how the organisation actually operates. We advise on governance, risk management, policies, incident processes and workforce training so that health and safety arrangements remain workable as the business changes.

For established businesses, this is not limited to responding after an incident. It also means reviewing whether existing systems still reflect the workforce, premises, contractors and activities the business now manages.

Examples of when businesses come to us:

  • a new site is opening, and management needs to determine how responsibilities and workplace risks will be managed
  • an incident has occurred, and the response, investigation and reporting position need to be established before further action is taken
  • existing policies no longer reflect a growing workforce, multiple locations or changed working arrangements and need to be reviewed

Our expertise

  • Compliance and governance: We advise boards, senior managers and operational teams on their health and safety responsibilities, including how accountability should be allocated across the business.
  • Risk management frameworks: We review existing systems and advise on risk registers, assessment processes, control measures and record-keeping so management can identify where further action is required.
  • Policies and procedures: We draft and review health and safety, homeworking, lone working, mental wellbeing and incident-management documents so internal processes reflect how your workforce operates.
  • Incidents and reporting: We advise on workplace incidents, internal investigations, reporting obligations and regulator engagement so the business can respond consistently and preserve a clear decision record.
  • Training and ongoing compliance: We provide training for managers and workers and advise on changes to workplace arrangements so health and safety processes remain current as operations develop.

“Businesses often come to us when growth has made their existing health and safety arrangements too informal for the risks they now manage. We advise employers, multi-site businesses and in-house teams on risk frameworks, workplace policies, incident response and management training. The strongest systems are practical enough to be used consistently, not simply documented and filed away.”
