Inspection reports

22nd April 2013

The aim of this inspection was to inspect the arrangements, processes and systems employed by COPFS staff (both legal and administrative staff) to investigate and prosecute where appropriate all health and safety cases reported to COPFS. This inspection was carried out in light of the creation of a specialised division with a view to measuring the success of this specialisation.

Footnotes

1. There is also a spreadsheet called "ongoing investigations not yet reported". This details cases that are being worked on but no report has yet been received. Other (not yet reported) cases are actually on the "Main" spreadsheet and noted with not yet reported beside it.

2. 81 closed prosecutions and 17 no proceedings or no further proceedings

3. Figures are based on number of cases and not number of accused. If however the case has multiple accused with different verdict dates in different years, we have chosen the latter disposal date.
