The Government has recently introduced the new law of  Corporate Homicide in Scotland and Corporate Manslaughter in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. From April 2008, holding companies, companies  and other organistion, rather than individuals,  can be charged for alleged failures in systems and processes in the event of a fatality. Suddenly, things have become very serious for you and your business, especially  if you are not in compliance with  the Health & Safety at Work Act 1974.

We are inviting you to attend this seminar to show you how you can comply with the current legislation and how you can avoid incurring significant costs. We will cover the following key topics that your business should pay serious attention to:

1) H&S policy

2) Risk assessments

3) Safe systems of work

4) H&S training of employees

5) Consultation with employees on H&S matters 

6) Access to competent H&S assistance
