Posted By Brenda H I'm having trouble finding the information I want through the HSE's prosecutions database, mainly as it's not always that easy to interrogate. However, am quite sure the company I am looking for information on has been previously prosecuted, but I can't find details. I have phoned the HSE, who have told me in order to request information on a particular company I need to fill in a freedom of information request?? I don't understand this when you can interrogate their database on exactley this information (despite me not being able to find it!). Any ideas?

Posted By Brenda H I have and still can't find anything, which if the prosecution was over 5 yrs old I won't. Also am fairly convinved there has been something about them, but not sure why it's not showing on there.

Posted By Robert K Lewis Brenda If you search by cases then by defendant name it should appear if within the last 5 years. Try not to be too specific with the name as this can cause issues for the search. Bob

Posted By Kieran J Duignan Brenda If you're a member of IOSH, ask the Technical Officer in the IOSH library for help on this. I've found her both a mine of information and extraordinarily helpful.
