Health and Safety Law 2024 (October 2024)

The Act allows a jury to convict an organisation for both the offence of corporate manslaughter and for health and safety offences. This allows company directors to be prosecuted for a health and safety offence at the same time as the company is prosecuted for corporate manslaughter.
