Contact us about health and safety law

Health and safety at work is protected by legislation, which changes all the time. The principles are simple. Employers have a duty to protect employees at work and to keep them informed of health and safety issues. The employee has a responsibility to look after herself or himself and others and follow health and safety guidelines. Of course how these principles are implemented and interpreted forms the basis of dispute and claims up and down the country.

At IM, we are unusual, in that we use our considerable health and safety law expertise to work for organisations and individuals. This means that when you use IM, you are dealing with health and safety experts who understand both sides of any situation.
