Health and Safety Reforms - Fine Levels

Posted 03 March 2014 by Mike Johnson health and safety;

I believe we will see significant changes to Health and Safety requirements this year (see my July 2013 Update) - and the current proposals include serious increases in levels of fines. In fact if the proposals go ahead maximum fines would increase to 5 or 6 times their current levels.

Since fines doled out are already not uncommon at the $50,000 level, we can expect this to increase to $250,000 plus. You cannot afford these risks - so take action now, if you have not already done so.
