M2 Analyse the consequences of non-compliance
with health and safety systems and procedures in
the aviation industry.
Businesses in the United Kingdom are failing to keep construction
workers safe. Regulations such as The Health and Safety at Work Act
1974 can have serious repercussions if they are not followed. The
human cost of negligence is revealed in the latest Health and Safety
Executive (HSE) statistics for the building industry. Because the law
places entire responsibility for safety on the employer, this is in their
best interests to comply. These flaws have consequences for UK
businesses, their owners, and workers on the ground. It is illegal to
violate health and safety regulations. Companies have a common
law obligation to guarantee that their employees are safe in the
workplace. If you do to comply, you may face penalties such as fines
or prison sentences.
Financial Penalties-
The HSE can initially just issue a notice of improvement or
restriction to a company that is breaking the law, but the
penalties can quickly escalate. Breach of the law can result in
fines of up to £20,000, while issues that risk human lives can
result in fines or imprisonment that are unlimited. If an employee
is hurt at a workplace where best practises were not followed,
they may be able to file a claim against the company.
Industry Disqualification and Reputation Damage-
Noncompliance with health and safety regulations can also have
a negative impact on a company's reputation. Disqualification
from the industry is a possible outcome, and companies'
reputations are frequently ruined as a result. Because it is the

legal responsibility of the employer to protect their employees,
when a health and safety issue happens, those at the top are
frequently targeted, and prosecutions brought forward by the HSE
in the UK have a 94 percent conviction success record.
Endangering Lives-
The most serious consequence is the possibility of a worker being
injured or possibly dying. In the construction industry, there have
been 30 fatalities in the last year, and these significant breaches
have significant consequences for the businesses involved. Sir
Robert McAlpine was fined £200,000 in one high-profile case after
a worker died as a result of health and safety violations. In certain
cases, limitless fines have reached £800,000, and the amount of
fines levied has escalated in recent years. The largest fine
imposed on the building industry was £2.6 million.
In conclusion the consequences of non-compliance is that if health
and safety standards are not met, the aviation industry's reputation
will suffer. Weapons could be brought on board by smuggling.
Deaths caused by harmful gases or explosions. Customer
dissatisfaction and it will leave an impact on the aviation industry.
Investigation expenses involving incidents that may occur as a
result of non-compliance with H&S rules. To remedy present
problems, new laws, regulations, or policies may be enacted that
may cause discomfort to travellers. Revenue loss for airlines and
airports. Compensation issues from those who have been harmed.
There are more sicknesses among the employees. Absence rates
could be high and costly for airport operators. Authorities impose
fines. It is possible that legal issues will occur. There is a risk of a
catastrophic aircraft accident due to compromised aircraft safety.
Replacement and compensation costs for wounded employees or
others. If flights are delayed, there may be contractual penalties or a
loss of revenue. Assets have been damaged (including aircraft and
equipment). Existing and prospective contracts will be lost. This
demonstrates that noncompliance is a significant issue in the
construction business. Business owners are having difficulty dealing
with health and safety events in a way that benefits not just their
employees but also their companies.
