The regulator accepted the client's enforceable undertaking in lieu of criminal prosecution.
- Undertook a global review of a client's incident classifications guidelines in order to align its processes to be suitable across multiple assets in various jurisdictions. This review involved innovating a new process to simplify the guidelines, as well as recommending practical guidance materials.

This workshop and the subsequent legal advice allowed the client to identify areas to enhance their processes and develop additional, innovative ways to promote mental health in the workplace.
