Companies from the construction industry and its associated trades are being invited to a mock trial to give their verdict on a fictitious health and safety prosecution.

The free event, which is being organised by the West Midlands Working Well Together group with support from the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), Birmingham Health, Safety and Environment Association and law firm Pinsent Masons, takes place at the University of Wolverhampton Science Park on Wednesday 17 September.

The mock trial focuses on a fictional prosecution arising from an incident where an employee of a painting and decorating firm working on a refurbishment project suffers serious injuries falling from height.
