No matter how many safeguards we apply, or how carefully we plan, accidents happen in the workplace. According to the Health and Safety Executive, 144 workers were killed in 2017/18, while an additional 100 members of the public were killed in workplace activities. This is tragic and can be a time of great difficulty for in-house counsel at affected organisations, putting them in an awkward position regarding relationships with regulators and co-workers and in understanding the role of legal professional privilege in conducting their investigation.
This seminar will provide delegates with valuable advice on how to conduct an accident investigation or fatal accident inquiry, manage relationships with regulators and consider when a privileged report might be required.
At this seminar you will:
- Review procedures and key legislation for conducting workplace investigations
- Address the role played by different regulators and how to work with them effectively
- Discuss issues concerning legal professional privilege and consider the circumstances in which it might be required
- Elena Fry, Partner, Brodies, Chair
- Charles Livingstone, Partner, Brodies
- Michael Upton, Advocate, Advocates' Library
