Corporate Manslaughter/Homicide – The Impact
The Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act 2007 came into force on 6 April 2008. Its stated aim is to make it easier to convict companies and other large organisations where serious management failures result in death. The Act, together with the Health and Safety (Offences) Act 2008, reinforces the importance of managing health and safety as a key business risk. The presentation will remind of the main elements of both pieces of legislation and their impact to date, on corporate and personal liability.

The Person in Safety Culture

As well as covering the major obstacles to improvement, it will introduce some recent research findings from the field of social psychology that greatly enhance the likelihood of promises being made gladly, rather than grudgingly, at the end of a safety contact.
