The notice highlights a number of cases where no supporting risk assessment has been offered in a number of areas.
It reads: “You have failed to make suitable and sufficient assessment of the risks to the Health and Safety of your employees whilst they are at work and of the risks to the health and safety of persons not in your employment arising out of or in connection with the conduct by you of your undertaking.”
Eni has until September 28th to comply with the order.
