Health and Safety Expert Witness Service
Accessible expertise when things go wrong.
Over the past decade a number of Hastam directors have acted as expert witnesses in health and safety, leading investigations, preparing reports and delivering evidence in a number of high profile cases; for example, the blast furnace explosion at the Port Talbot steel plant, the Buncefield oil storage depot explosion and the Potters Bar Rail crash.
They have acted, in different cases, for both the defence and prosecution, and also for both parties in civil proceedings.
The team has in-depth knowledge of safety regulation, safety legislation and safety management systems in a broad range of industries including manufacturing, construction, chemical, steel, transport and public services.
We have investigated a range of incidents including those involving machinery, lifting equipment, falls, drowning, back injuries and explosions.
With access to a wide range of experts, a robust protocol and peer-review we can assist in most cases, providing a high quality, accessible report and a highly credible witness, should the case come to trial.
E-mail expert@hastam.co.uk or please call our Chief Executive, Mike Vyvyan, on 07900 932 007 if you would like to know more.
