Corporate Manslaughter and You

摘要

Mew legislation introduced in April means that quarry managers who fail to fulfil their health and safety obligations will now be at fault for workplace injuries in the eyes of the law and those responsible may be prosecuted. With the British Safety Industry Federation claiming that almost half of all accidents are caused by companies ignoring the need for personal protective equipment (PPE), or providing unsuitable PPE, directors urgently need to take a close look at their own operations. According to Stuart Jukes, sales director at PPE specialists Praybourne, there are no excuses for not taking proper care of your workforce.'Knowing your workforce is correctly dressed in conforming PPE gives you peace of mind and, at the same time, shows your staff that you care for their well-being,' he said.
