Posted By Glyn Atkinson HSE prosecution website would be my starting point! Shows you how to identify the company and will pick up any completed cases. Very useful as background for any job aplications !

Posted By holmezy If the Company concerned has had any prosecution or improvement notices served, then they will be on the HSE database. The only way that you will find out about reportables, is to ask the Company re its accident figures. Don't be surprised or upset if they don't tell you, there is no legal reason why they have to.
