While individuals employed by MOD can be prosecuted under the HASAWA for failing to perform their prescribed duties, the MOD cannot. At the most, the MOD could only expect a Crown Censure (by which the Health and Safety Executive records there would be sufficient evidence to secure a H&S conviction against the MOD).
