Environmental, Health and Safety

Our multi-award winning Health and Safety team has dealt with many and varied crises.

Whether investigating a train crash, a fatality in a factory or an environmental spill to controlled waters, we have guided organizations like yours through tough times. We deal with all aspects of preparing for and handling safety issues, lead investigations and interfaces with regulators. We also redesign safety management systems to improve resilience.

When an incident does occur, the number of stakeholders interested will be a surprise. We regularly assist clients with markets, communications, internal briefings and investor provisioning. We have briefed chief executives immediately before TV appearances and have advocated in tribunals and courts around the world.

Most importantly, we can help you devise safety improvement strategies to explain confidently how you will respond to emerging concerns. We are a global team and, by working with us, you will benefit from worldwide experience combined with multi-jurisdictional local knowledge. We also think it's important to work with other professional bodies and our team are Chartered Members of IOSH, fellows of the International Institute of Risk Managers and work as coroners.

Our team is always ready to provide the around-the-clock support and guidance you need to prevent a problem escalating to a crisis.
