520 _aOutlines and comments on the new draft Corporate Manslaughter Bill. Under this proposed legislation, an organisation is guilty if the way that any of its activities are managed or organised by its senior managers causes a person's death or amounts to a gross breach of a relevant duty of care. The law will affect a number of suppliers of services, employers and the occupiers of land. Argues that in many ways the new legislation will simply confuse the issues relating to health and safety rather than helping to properly hold companies to account for the failing of senior managers. There is also a problem with the cost of potential over regulation that is perhaps making the more hazardous building activities uninsurable.
