Following a work health and safety incident, particularly one involving a serious injury or fatality, inspectors from Workplace Health and Safety Queensland (WHSQ) are highly likely to attend and investigate. What you do in the first hours and days can shape everything that follows.
Gilshenan & Luton are specialist criminal defence and WHS lawyers. We assist clients throughout the investigation process, including communicating with inspectors and WHSQ, attending interviews and drafting responses to notices issued under section 155 of the WHS Act.
Engaging lawyers early lets you establish legal professional privilege over communications, reports and investigations, and ensures your rights are protected with clear, frequent advice.
Call our 24-hour line on 07 3361 0222. We can attend the workplace and communicate with inspectors on your behalf.
The Office of the Work Health and Safety Prosecutor (OWHSP) may bring proceedings within two years of an offence first coming to its notice. Early, privileged advice helps you understand and address exposure before that point.
Book a free 15-minute consult or call our 24-hour line. The earlier we're involved, the more we can do.
