Directing directors

摘要

On 20 January I attended a forum run by the Business Accountability and Responsibility Centre at the University of South Wales for academics, practitioners, health and safety professionals and lawyers. The aim was to consider two important areas of health and safety law: Section 37 of the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974 (HSWA) and the Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act 2007 (CMCHA), and to explore key issues in relation to offences under both these statutes. The fruits of the debate are being written up and published by the university, in part to provide the background material for a further meeting to be held at Westminster.
