What is Corporate Manslaughter?

• Corporate Manslaughter applies to all organisations, and covers all areas of health and safety.
• Crown Prosecution Service no longer have to prove ‘individual responsibility’ to bring a prosecution to court, the company is prosecuted for management failings under Corporate Manslaughter.
• Corporate Manslaughter is an effective mechanism to prosecute for management failings utilising existing legislation.
• CEO/MD will represent the company in court, unlimited fines and media exposure.

You must be compliant if your business fits into one of the following categories:

• Your employees drive company vehicles.
• Your employees have cash allowances for vehicles.
• Your employees use their own vehicles for business purposes.
• You have sub contractors representing your company on business.

All companies must ....

• Complete a yearly Corporate Risk Assessment to ensure they are compliant with all Occupational Road Risk legislation.
• Maintain driver audits.
