READER POLL: Corporate manslaughter
Date:
14 March 2011
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
