Event details
This two-hour webinar will be delivered by leading health and safety law firm DAC Beachcroft and will focus on the legal lessons you need to learn in the aftermath of an accident in the workplace.
After an accident there is a tendency to get caught up in internal investigations and responding to regulators, however, it is the response to the incident that is often picked apart at a later stage, and often in Court.
We explore the importance of getting the response to an accident right, when to consider an accident investigation, and how the response and documents created in the immediate aftermath of an incident are frequently used against organisations in a prosecution.
From perception of emergency services, to opinion led witness evidence, our speaker will cover how the Courts and Regulator’s deal the lessons we have seen our clients learn and the perils of getting it wrong.
All attendees will earn CPD points.
