Risk management
Don’t risk prosecution! Nowadays, so much new legislation is being brought out that non-professionals find it hard to keep up
Because of this, the risk of prosecution to senior executives is very real, and the consequent legal costs and fines – let alone the loss of reputation – can cripple, or even destroy an organisation
The simple solution is to have a Risk Assessment – but be sure to act upon the findings!
Enough has been said regarding recent court cases where Directors and managers knew that there was a problem but did nothing about it. Whilst health and safety takes more and more of a role in life, in general the liability of decision makers will increase and increase. The much more burdensome charge of Corporate Manslaughter is getting nearer and nearer!
