Corporate Homicide Act 2007

Are you prepared for this Legislation?

The Corporate Manslaughter (England and Wales) and Corporate Homicide (Scotland) Act 2007 is designed to ensure that any work related death, containing a suggestion of culpability, is pursued with the rigor of a serious criminal enquiry.

The legislation is targeted, in spirit and the letter, at the upper echelons of corporate structures, ‘the directing minds’. The aim is to hold large organisations responsible for any significant management failures that contributed to the fatality. Findings of guilt can result in swingeing financial penalties and substantial damage to business reputation.

Your company has a plethora of health and safety procedures and directives in place to minimize risk. Systems are reviewed and exercised. A safety culture has been promoted throughout the company. There will be a confidence that safety procedures are robust and will withstand scrutiny.

However, should a fatality occur, have the full implications of the Corporate Homicide legislation and the consequential in-depth criminal enquiry been fully appreciated? In particular, have members of your senior management had experience in confronting a serious criminal enquiry? Probably not.
