The Local Authority Unit (LAU) within HSE, collates information on successful health and safety prosecutions taken by Local Authority Health and Safety Enforcement Officers.
Collation of the 08/09 prosecution data was very successful and the report containing this information will be published in November 2009. Details of this report's availability will be publicised via Partnership News.
LAU are now collating details of prosecutions for this current year heard between 1 April 2009 and 31 March 2010 which may now be submitted by LAs to HSE via HELex.
Successful prosecutions of health and safety offences, including details of the individual charges laid against duty holders and the penalties imposed by the Courts, is published annually on this website.
Headline figures of Local Authority enforcement activity are also included in HSE's Annual Health and Safety Statistics publication
In addition, HSE statisticians use the data (along with other sources) to calculate prosecution rates, average fines etc as well as to identify trends. This information is then used to inform strategic decisions.
