Health and Safety
The Practice
Arthur Cox is unique amongst Irish law firms in having a specialist Health and Safety Group, drawing together the expertise of solicitors from different practice areas, who each have experience and expertise in advising on the various aspects of health and safety law through their specialised practices.
The importance of ensuring effective health and safety management and the increasing emphasis on potential corporate and individual liability for health and safety offences means that you need to be fully advised on how to ensure compliance with your statutory and common law obligations at all levels and at every stage. Health and safety also impacts upon every aspect of the employment relationship and outsourcing, and you need to ensure that your contractual arrangements with employees and third parties allow you to comply with your obligations. You also need to be prepared for the worst and know what to do if the Health and Safety Authority seek to take enforcement action - what are the powers of the Health and Safety Authority and what are your rights?
