Regulatory risk & compliance

Health and safety

Problems can arise even at the best run companies.  Some examples include:

• Factory accidents that result in injury or death – e.g. a visitor to factory premises is run over by a forklift truck.
• An employee is injured by a piece of equipment after being instructed to work in a part of the factory that he is unfamiliar with.
• An employee is injured by sheets of metal falling on him which had not been stored safely in the employer’s factory.

Environmental

Sometimes accidents happen such as:

• A sewage overflow discharging effluent into a nearby stream and killing fish.
• A company causing hazardous chemicals to escape from its factory and pollute a local river.
