Each year we receive numerous requests from Solicitors
throughout Australia for the supply of expert advice on matters
relating to acceptable standards of safety and compliance
levels. A verbal report or advice is provided for each case,
as required, which can range from a simple slip, to a fatal
incident, to major critical incidents of a public nature. We
are frequently required to attend court to provide expert advice on
such matters, in which our qualifications and expertise to give
such evidence has been recognised and accepted by the Supreme,
District and Industrial Courts.
In providing expert advice and professional services in our
consulting roles we are therefore mindful of examples from these
legal cases which reinforce the level of commitment and standards
required for safety management systems, controls, design
engineering and other preventative measures. This segment of
our business regularly reinforces our beliefs that effective
analysis, design review and engineering is essential to reduce
injury and in extreme cases, the loss of life.
