Prosecutions register
The Health and Safety Executive maintains a public database of
details of
- all prosecution cases which resulted in a conviction and crown
censures taken by HSE since 1 April 1999
- details of all enforcement notices issued since 1 April 2001
excluding those under appeal or withdrawn.
If businesses have been prosecuted for Health and Safety
breaches by the HSE, the details will be available on the Health and Safety Executives
Public Register of Convictions (external link).
Additionally under the Environment and Safety Information Act
1988, Local Authorities are required to maintain a Public Register
of all health and safety enforcement notices which were served for
issues relating to persons other than just employees. Such notices
are required to be kept on the register for three years after being
served, even though remedial action may have already taken place
and dealt with the problem. In order to view the register a formal
request to Carlisle City Council should be made.
