Publisher's Synopsis
The Corporate Manslaughter and Homicide Act 2007 introduced a new offence, across the UK, for prosecuting corporations where there has been a gross failing, throughout the organisation, in the management of health and safety with fatal consequences. The result of the Act will be a new spotlight on Health and Safety compliance and increased pressure on those in corporations with responsibility for this area, from the Director down. Keep ahead of the game with this new book which provides detailed guidance on how an organisation can best comply with this controversial new legislation. The book contains a full section-by-section explanation of the Act, all the main Health and Safety regulatory guidance in one place and many practical features like case studies and checklists.
