Strategic advice and practical support when you need it most
Work health and safety prosecutions and coronial inquiries are, by their nature, inherently emotive proceedings. Our experienced lawyers can sensitively guide your staff through the process, managing legal and reputational risk, staff wellbeing, and company and personal liability.
Rely on our expertise
We have extensive experience providing strategic advice to businesses throughout the life cycle of serious safety matters starting from immediate on-the-ground incident response, including liaising effectively with investigators, supporting witnesses with interviews, managing the media, unions and other stakeholders, managing detailed document collation in response to compulsory production notices. Our safety team will support your business in the day-to-day management of subsequent safety regulator/police investigations, assist your business to manage its own investigations, advise on legal compliance requirements and guide you through subsequent court processes that may arise and their outcomes.
We have considerable experience in speaking to Boards and senior management in the context of incidents and more broadly to advise them on their personal duties under safety laws and will assist them to develop their personal due diligence systems.
