Dear Sub Officer X

RE: ACCIDENT NUMBER 762, DATE 1ST MAY 1998

I refer to your recent request, made by telephone and letter to ADO Seager on 9th November 1998, for a copy of ADO Hayden’s report of the investigation into the above accident.

I propose to exercise the right conferred upon me by Regulation 5, (3), (e) of the Health and safety (Consultation with Employees) Regulations 1996, which allows an employer to refrain from making available “any information obtained by the employer for the purpose of bringing, prosecuting or defending any legal proceedings.”

Therefore, I shall not be releasing a copy of ADO Hayden’s report to you at this stage.



Yours sincerely

KE Seager
Assistant Chief Fire officer (Technical)
Brigade Investigating Officer
