HSE Enforcement Action Question

Post by Bigcat »

Hi there,

Can the HSE issue a prohibition notice and prosecute a company for the same breach, or is it either or.
Thanks in advance

Hi BC. :wave:

Item 4 in this HSE link says it simply. https://www.hse.gov.uk/enforce/enforcem ... -intro.htm

It's a good link for reading to help explain everything. .salut

In short, yes.

The breach is the issue and it will be put through HSE's Enforcement Management Model (EMM) and a prosecution may well be indicated depending on the standards observed.
