From 6th April 2008, Beware Corporate Manslaughter

Posted: 28th March 2008

Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act - comes into force in the UK for the prosecution of companies and other organisations where there has been a gross failing, throughout the organisation, in the management of health and safety with fatal consequences.

“If your activities are managed or organised in such a way that causes death you could be liable to a gross breach of duty of care. So protect against or evidence your defence of charges under the Corporate Manslaughter or Corporate Homicide Act 2007 through Proteus EnterpriseTM. This is the world’s leading utility for risk and compliance with any regulation or standard - all in one enterprise package, says Stephen Hall, InfoGov’s CEO.”

Regulations, market pressures and increasing stakeholder demands – these are placing governance, risk, compliance and fraud at the forefront of sustained business growth and development.

Increased need for enhancing your defence and protection against corporate manslaughter or corporate homicide is driving organisations towards unified compliance, risk and crisis management strategies within existing information architectures. They no longer see these functions as separate project-based activities, but as a composite framework that guides, standardises and strengthens processes and security, and integrates technology throughout the organisation and supply chain.
