NGC 1

[EBisset]

Does anyone have a model answer to this question for NGC 1?

An enforcement officer has visited an organisation and has found that a
number of work activities have not had risk assessments completed.
(a) Describe actions that the enforcement officer could take.

I wont give you the full answer but I would be wording it around he can serve prohibition notices, improvement notices, FFI and what all of those may entail as well as the role/duty and power of HSE Inspectors.

Hi

As will said, this is pointing towards powers of inspectors relevant to the given example.

" a number of risk assessments had not been completed" therefore the inspector may issue an improvement notice.

As will said, talking about other things the inspector can do will not loose you marks and will show you understand what an inspector can do.

Remember this is a "describe" answer, so write a sufficient amount.

As the guys above have said.
A prohibition notice would be served under sections 22 and 23 HSWA if the inspector believes the activities will carry on and will present a serious risk of injury if continued.

Read up on HSE http://www.hse.gov.uk/enforce/enforceme ... -types.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Hope this helps.

Would the employer could be prosecuted for breaching his statutory dutie one?

Would the employer could be prosecuted for breaching his statutory dutie one?

He could be.

Although it will depend on the inspector and any mitigating circumstances, he may just go for FFI to get it sorted

Which workbook are you using? The one we use lists the powers of an inspector following such an incident. Pm for details
