Manslaughter And Corporate Homicide Act Soon To Become Law

Following the introduction of the new act organisations can be found guilty of corporate manslaughter if death is caused by a gross breach of its duty of care that is substantially due to senior management failure.
The responsible person within an organisation or individuals responsible for fire and health and safety will be the first port of call for any investigation involving a fatality or serious injury. It is therefore crucial that you conform to current legislation and standards to ensure you comply.
Following the introduction of the Regulatory Reform Order the responsible person (Owner, employer or manager) is now responsible for fire safety within their premises; many organisations have still not yet implemented actions to conform to the fire safety order leaving them liable should any accident or emergency occur.
There are many products and organisations which can aid your understanding and requirements under the new legislation for further information on how to comply email georgie.knight@means-of-escape.com
