Corporate Manslaughter and Homicide Act 2008
Corporate Manslaughter and Homicide Act 2008
Under the new laws, courts will be able to prosecute companies that fail to prevent an individual's death because of a lack of adequate health and safety systems in the workplace. Courts will look at the management systems and processes in a company or organisation and will be able to prosecute businesses that fail to manage health and safety properly.
The following few questions might prompt action by those businesses who have not already addressed them:
* Do you think your current policy in terms of Health & Safety and Insurance policies are comprehensive enough to meet the requirements of the new Corporate Manslaughter and Homicide Act?
* Do you have any plans to make any changes to the management of the Health & Safety of your employees on company business, e.g driving, in relation to the new Corporate Manslaughter and Homicide Act?
* Has your organisation carried out a corporate risk assessment relative to the new Corporate Manslaughter and Homicide Act?
* Are you confident that there is a suitable audit trail in place within your organisation which meets the new legislation’s requirements?

Leanne Hoagland-SmithAre your sales where you want them to be? Will you be one of the few who achieves sales or business success or one of the many who have failed to change? Are you tired of being told you are like everyone else? Then you may find my first book on sales of interest. Be the Red Jacket in the Sea of Gray Suits, The Keys to Unlocking Sales available at Amazon or at http://www.processspecialist.com/red-jacket.htm. This book is a reflection of my no-nonsense approach to improving sales to overall business results. If you are truly committed to making sustainable changes, then I can help you secure a positive return on your investment because I focus on executable solutions not telling you the problems you already know you have. From training to corporate (group) coaching to executive one on one coaching, my approach is to assess, create awareness, build a goal driven action plan and then execute. The bottom line question is "Not do you or your employees know it, but do you or they want to do it?"
