New legislation came into effect in April 2008. The new offence means that company’s (at senior level) will be guilty of corporate manslaughter if there are ‘gross failures’ in the management of health and safety resulting in death.

Employers are required to manage risks under section 2(1) of the Health and Safety at
Work. Regulation 3 of the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 requires employers to make ‘suitable and sufficient assessment’ of the risks to the health and safety of his
employees to which they are exposed whilst they are at work.

Fortunately, the law recognises that employers can either be good at running a company or having a go at becoming a health and safety expert.... This is why the law allows for an employer to appoint a ‘competent person’ to assist them to meet their legal obligations. JAW Business Solutions can tailor make a package that will ensure compliance with current health and safety laws.

Quite alarmingly there are many companies simply not complying with their legal obligations, and breaking the law usually results in dire consequences if left to chance.

The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999. Regulation 3, says that every employer shall make suitable and sufficient Risk Assessments of the risks to the health and safety of his employees to which they are exposed whilst they are at work. Regulation 7, says that every employer is required under law to appoint a Competent Person to assist them meet their legal health and safety obligations. An employer who has not made an appointment of a suitable person to fulfil the competent person role is in breach of a statutory duty.

THE MAGISTRATES COURT:
Powers to impose maximum fines of up to 5000 pounds for each offence under Health and Safety legislation, and or up to 6 months imprisonment. More serious offences under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 (sections 2-6), Food Safety Act, and Environmental Act 1991, attract a
20, 000 pounds penalty.

CROWN COURT:
Indictable cases and those elected to be tried by jury from a magistrates
court are heard by a Judge. The court has powers to impose unlimited fines and or a maximum of 2
years imprisonment for offences related to Health and Safety at Work.

JAW Business Solutions offer a range of services to suit businesses requirements, and costs will depend on how much work is involved. There are primarily three ranges of consultancy and printing package on offer, Gold, Silver and Bronze.
