Health & Safety Mini-Mock Trial - a real life case study

We invite you to attend an interactive Mini-Mock Trial where we follow a real-life case study following a serious incident. Attendees are given a realistic insight into examination and cross-examination of a key defence witness and how cases are presented by the prosecution and defence counsel and will help to decide if the defendant is ‘guilty’ or ‘not guilty’ before sentencing.

PIB Client Academy is dedicated to providing insight and advice on a range of areas of risk, guiding you through the different measures that can be taken to help mitigate risk and safeguard your business.

What is covered?

The session will be hosted by Mark Hastings, Partner at Weightmans (Scotland) LLP.

The mock trial will cover:

• Introduction to the case study based on a health and safety incident
• Background to incident investigation and prosecution decision
• Key witness evidence
• Hear closing submissions (legal arguments)
• The verdict
• A sentencing exercise including an overview of the Health and Safety Sentencing guidelines
• Short session on top tips for dealing with an incident & its investigation

Who is this aimed at?

This session is aimed at owners/directors, finance directors, health & safety managers, HR managers and anyone else who is involved in dealing with accident investigation issues for their organisation.
