Health and Safety Offences and Penalties 2002/2003
“[. . .] HSE prosecutes for breaches we believe to be especially serious. I am therefore disturbed to see the overall average fine drop back last year by 21%. Some of this fall is because there have been fewer of the larger fines, but it is disappointing that the 39% increase in 2001/02 did not indicate the start of a long-overdue and marked upward trend. In fact, there has been no substantial change in the general level of fines since November 1998 when the Court of Appeal said the fines being imposed for health and safety offences were too low. . .”
