RoSPA Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act

The Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) are to partner the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) to deliver a key industry event on the Corporate Manslaughter and Homicide Act.

The event, which takes place on 14th November 2008 at Thompson Reuters, London will focus on managing risks in buildings and public spaces.

With an increasing focus on corporate liability and the role of directors and senior managers, no organisation, which has responsibilities for buildings, can afford to be unclear about the expectations of the authorities or their liabilities under statute and common law. There is every possibility that UK law in this area will reach beyond our national boundaries in cases where UK citizens or organisations have caused death through a failure in their duty of care.

To help clarify understanding in this key area, the conference will examine the implications of safety law surrounding buildings, including the new Corporate Manslaughter Act and its implications for relevant professionals.

Key perspectives covered will include those of: health and safety authorities, emergency planners, directors, architects, designers and insurers.
