The 2012 Criminal Injuries Compensation Scheme (CICS) deals with some 33,000 applications for compensation each year. It has, since 1964, been one of the principal means by which the state aims to meet victims’ expectations following an offence of violence, but it also displays a clear doctrinal effort to differentiate ‘deserving’ from ‘undeserving’ victims. Over much of the same period criminal courts and agencies have enjoyed powers to order offenders to pay compensation to their victims, most recently as an element of restorative justice.

Split into two parts, Criminal Injuries Compensation is an authoritative analysis of the statutory provisions governing these various remedies. Part One, State Compensation, analyses the Scheme’s defining provisions: what constitutes ‘a criminal injury’, what persons and injuries may be compensated, the rules governing the victim’s own conduct and character, the assessment of the award, and the procedures governing applications, appeals and judicial review. Part Two, Offender Compensation, analyses the conditions under which a criminal court may make a compensation order as an element of its sentencing decision, concluding with the potential of restorative justice to deliver offender compensation to victims. The book also touches on the wider political and criminal justice context of compensation.

Written and edited by an expert academic and practitioner team, Criminal Injuries Compensation is an essential text for all those with an interest in understanding the statutory, judicial and administrative rules that govern state and offender payment of compensation to victims of violent crime.

A safety inspection is a formalized and properly documented process of identifying hazards in the workplace.

Safety inspections come in all different forms depending on the environment being tested, but they generally compare results against acceptable standards to ensure that a given environment falls within acceptable safety limits.

The inspection process involves various people, such as health and safety specialists, managers, supervisors, and members of health and safety management committees, depending on the type and frequency of inspection.

The inspection process mainly focuses on four key areas:

• People: Workers, their behavior and methods
• Plant: Machinery, equipment and vehicles
• Premises: The workplace itself and the working environment
• Procedures: The methodologies, safe system of work and permit-to-work system

The frequency of inspection depends upon the nature of work being done, the materials, substances and equipment involved in the work process and the procedures being followed.

Depending on these factors, inspections may be carried out daily, weekly, monthly, bi-annually or annually.

This notebook has been designed to help you document the internal or external inspections.
