Posted By Lukasz This is just example because I am interested in your opinions. If some changes etc. need to be implemented by law but simply there is no money in the company and there is no other (cheaper) or you identified some hazards with which current control measures are not effective from the law point of view. How would you act? What would be your response? Regards

Posted By Lukasz Yes I understand that and I know that you cannot cut corners on health and safety. Lets say you have support from management from top but they have problems with paying wages etc. What should then HS Professional do?

Posted By Lukasz Mike It is not mine problem. It is only example due to fact that credit crunch affected many organizations and probably some of them cannot comply with the law due not to being greedy but do not have financial possibility. Company does not have money at the moment. I understand what result might be, but I would l I think best example will be: Statutory inspection under legislation's or Training (instead you can do own training which in the court probably will not be suitably as trainer is not "competent")
