According to g.Neil Companies many employers pay insufficient attention to their health and safety responsibilities. Many are simply unaware of what their legal responsibilities are until an employee suffers a work-related injury or illness, or the local enforcement authority pays an unexpected visit. Then the potential for a substantial penalty is a real possibility.

Link this with the additional responsibilities employers now face with the Employment Relations Act, and suddenly there is a whole raft of new rules and regulations to keep up with and – more importantly – comply with. An unfair dismissal claim now carries a maximum award of £50,000, unlimited in serious health and safety cases.
