DUTY
OF CARE LEGISLATION
The Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate
Homicide Act 2007 came into force on April
6, 2008. The law introduces an offence of
corporate manslaughter in England, Wales
and Northern Ireland and corporate homicide
in Scotland. Full Wording of the Act can
be found on the Office
of Public Sector Information Website.
Senior Management
Accountable
Prior to April 6, 2008 it was very difficult
to pin-point senior management, especially
in large organisations, who directly contributed
by way of management failure to the death
of an employee. The effect was that while
an individual crane operator, for example,
could find him or herself liable for manslaughter,
senior management who were aware of shortcomings
within their safety systems escaped prosecution.
The Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate
Homicide Act 2007 has changed this.
Duty of Care to
Employees
Senior management of organisations now
owe a relevant duty of care to employees
or persons performing services for it.
Where a corporate culture exists that
allows dangerous practices to go unchallenged
and a death or deaths result, these organisations
and it's senior management will find themselves
liable.
Heavy Penalties
Companies can be fined a minimum of 5%
of annual turnover for any gross breach
that leads to the death of an employee.

Crown Prosecution Service Website.
