Corporate Manslaughter

THREE in four bosses are unaware they and their companies risk corporate killing charges if an employee driver or his vehicle cause death, even his own. Crippling fines and jail are waiting to be imposed. Yet most bosses are unprepared for police action under existing law or wider sweeping Health & Safety (H&S) at work ‘requirements’. Did they take every precaution to prevent road death by ensuring their driver exercised skill and care?
