Why was the book written?
Since 2001, Ashleigh Harold has specialised in health and safety law. With the Sentencing Guidelines of 2016 imposing harsher penalties and the increasing complexity of workplace legislation, businesses and individuals are under more pressure than ever.
Ashleigh recognised that for those outside the legal profession, the world of investigations, police procedures, and court proceedings is daunting, stressful, and often overwhelming. This book bridges the gap, offering practical and expert insights to help readers prepare, understand, and respond effectively.
“Faced with a crisis, people react differently than they normally would. Decisions made in the moment can have lasting consequences — this book helps you avoid those pitfalls.”
