Accidents happen: it's a fact of life and business. No matter what an organisation does to prevent an accident, or to deal with the aftermath so that processes and procedures are put in place to prevent a re-occurrence, there may be situations where a prosecution will still be brought.

Wragge & Co's health and safety experts provide some useful guidance to follow in the event of a prosecution.
