After years of pretending to deliver and cases that have fallen short of the ultimate
punishment we have recently seen two bosses jailed for serious breaches of health and
safety and corporate manslaughter. Whether this is a sign of things to come on the strength
of one high profile prosecution is open to debate but it does seem that the authorities are
starting to take these matters more seriously.
At PHPL we advocate solid risk management advice as an integral part of any comprehensive
approach to risk control and the only foolproof way to establish long term control of the cost
of risk. It is a subject to which we will return in future issues but in the meantime if you
want advice on Health and Safety, Directors and Officers Insurance Protection or related issues
then please give us a call.
