While the Corporate Manslaughter Act was introduced in 2007, there had not been a conviction under the law until last month when Cotswold Geotechnical Holdings was found guilty and fined £385,000 after a geologist died when a trench collapsed.
As a result, the latest online poll asks readers: How much of a difference will the first corporate manslaughter prosecution make to your duty of care procedures?
– None, because it wasnt car-related
– None, because we feel our duty of care is sufficient
– Some
– A lot
