Health and Safety Law 2024 (October 2024)

The document, Health and safety offences, corporate manslaughter and food safety and hygiene offences: definitive guideline, sets out a range of provisional sentences for different types of offence for both organisations and individuals aged 18 and over. Aggravating and mitigating factors must be taken into account to finalise the sentence. A guilty plea can result in a reduction of the sentence by around a third.
