Amicus Launch Fees For HSE Intervention Cover

Amicus have been selected as the first broker to have access to a new type of policy designed to protect you should you become subject to an HSE investigation and to give you expert help when you need it.

An investigation by the Health and Safety Executive could have a serious impact on your business.

When you are running a business which is regulated by the HSE, if there is an accident or an unannounced inspection you can be sure that any resulting investigation will be costly and time consuming.

New government regulations mean that more than 60% of HSE inspections now result in a ‘Fee For Intervention’ (FFI) being charged to the employer.  These fees can and do run into £ thousands and they are completely outside of your control.  

HSE Recovery is an insurance policy which gives you a health and safety (H&S) expert to help you through the process if this happens and provides cover to help you with this cost if you are notified of an HSE intervention.

We will provide initial expert advice by phone to guide you on actions you should take and how to handle the HSE inspector, review relevant documentation and help you draft a response.

An appointed expert will meet you at your premises to provide further advice, if you are notified that a subsequent HSE visit will be made.

What does HSE Recovery Insurance provide?

HSE Recovery provides cover for up to £25K in respect of professional advice by one of our H&S experts.

This will cover initial telephone advice, a review of documentation and personal attendance, where the HSE have notified you of a subsequent visit or have served an enforcement notice.

There is further cover for up to £25K if a FFI is charged.

In addition, if the HSE wish to conduct an ‘interview under caution’, then there is cover for a further £5K in respect of HSE expert fees and £5K in legal fees to represent you.

Any business can be affected by an unannounced inspection or an accident at work. If you are regulated by the HSE, this product helps you manage that risk and minimise the impact on your business.
