Balfour Beatty Incident

402 Words2 Pages

From my research I found that Balfour Beatty follows a number of laws. For example after speaking to Mick (2015) he said the Health and Safety law was vital because if there is no Health and safety then some people can get injured if you are not abiding by the Health and safety rule. Whatever sort of business you are, there is always the possibility of an accident or damage to someone's health. All work exposes people to hazards especially Balfour Beatty as we use a variety of dangerous Equipment which could be harmful to people. This is one of the incidents that have occurred in Balfour Beatty and after this they have a strict security code of conduct; Balfour Beatty Rail Projects Ltd has been fined £350,000 with costs of £50,000 for safety

    In regards to the Brent Small case, I personally believe that Mr. Smalls shouldn't be found guilty due to the lack of evidence. Although there was a witness who saw what happened, the evidence isn’t consistent with the case. The vehicle did match the description but the witness was unsure of the license plate and the damage to the vehicle isn’t significant to the crime committed. I don't believe that the evidence is strong enough to convict Mr. Smalls.
