Details
Crown employers, which include government departments, their executive agencies and some other organisations sponsored by government departments, are exempt from some sections of the Health and Safety at Work Act. This is sometimes referred to as ‘crown immunity’.
A crown censure is when HSE summons a crown employer to be censured for a breach which, but for crown immunity, would have led to prosecution with a realistic prospect of conviction.
