Failed health and safety inspections
Where work practices or conditions fall short of the standard required, every attempt will be made to resolve the situation by informal means. If this is not possible, or if the danger posed gives rise to a risk of serious personal injury, we must use formal action. Formal action could involve:
- serving an improvement notice
- a report to the Procurator Fiscal
- a prohibition notice requiring immediate action (where serious personal injury could arise).
