Executive can provide
businesses with advice on
developing and implementing
effective health and safety
procedures (you can find them

Act.It is essential that you are
aware of the finer details of
the Corporate Manslaughter
Act and fully understand its
implications for your
business.Visit the Office of
Public Sector Information for

• Drive awareness.All
employees need to be aware
of the new legislation,so use
the coming months to
highlight its introduction
across all levels of your
organisation.Appointing an
individual within your
company, who can respond to
any questions staff may have,
will help ensure relevant
information is effectively
