1.2.1. Consequences of non-compliance

A breach of health and safety legislation is usually a criminal offence. Wherever you are in the world, failure to meet legal standards might lead to

Failure to comply with formal enforcement action is usually considered to be an offence.

Prosecution of individuals, such as directors, managers and workers: successful prosecution might result in punishment in the form of a fine and/or imprisonment.
