520 _aLooks at government's emerging policy to tackle management failings in relation to health and safety in heavy industry. These include the requirement that companies appoint a Health and Safety Director. If a company is run by a Board of Directors, the Board must manage health and safety, or one Director must be appointed to carry out this task. In addition government is committed to a new Safety Bill, and is considering draft provisions for offences of 'corporate killing' and 'kiling by gross carelessness'. Provides details of the content of these draft provisions, considers the new health and safety sentencing guidelines, and discusses the notion of 'reasonable practicability'.
