Chemical Manufacturer

Who did we help?

A chemical manufacturer based in the north west with approximately 30 staff.

What was their issue?

During a maintenance programme of work equipment, a contractor was involved
in a work-related accident and suffered a reportable injury (broken arm). The
HSE became involved in the resulting investigation, and the Directors wanted
external assistance with the investigation and liaison with the HSE.

How did we solve it?

We undertook a full accident investigation, assisted onsite when the HSE visited,
and subsequently conducted a full review and update of all documentation.

What was the outcome?

The HSE were satisfied that the company were taking appropriate action with
relevant expert guidance to improve safety as a whole in the future. The
company was not prosecuted.
