Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide (Bloomsbury Professional) is a practical guide to the laws surrounding manslaughter at work, and the implications of the corporate manslaughter legislation. Previously known as Corporate Killing: A Managers’ Guide to Legal Compliance, the 2nd edition of this popular book outlines the effects of the corporate manslaughter legislation on companies, and offers authoritative advice to help you fully understand a company’s legal responsibilities. Coverage new to this edition includes the Hampton Review; recent major corporate manslaughter cases and disasters; and key information on the Corporate Manslaughter Bill 2005 and the Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act 2007. This book enables practitioners to advise directors or senior managers wishing to take ownership of health and safety issues and to ensure that they avoid the possibility of a manslaughter prosecution.
