Reviews:

Welham’s book covers the background and case law leading to the enactment of the Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act 2007, and provides useful guidance relevant to all employees of a company. It also covers the investigative roles of the police and the Health and Safety Executive and the range of sanctions available to the courts. There are also useful sections on the management of health and safety within an organisation along with best practice guidance.

This is a very readable book and covers a newly developing area of law that should be of use to everyone concerned with the management of a company.
