IS THE LAW ENFORCED? A recent court case against an employer
A company director is facing prison under the Corporate Manslaughter Act; the case has been heard in Crown Court . The director, has been accused of corporate manslaughter over the death of geologist in a mudslide. The company faces an unlimited fine if found guilty under the 2007 legislation. The deceased, was taking soil samples from inside a pit which had been excavated as part of a site survey, when the sides collapsed, crushing him. The maximum sentence for gross negligence under the Corporate Manslaughter Act is life. Even if the director escapes conviction for the most serious offence, he could still face imprisonment for the offence under section 37 of the 1974 Health and Safety at Work. CROWN COURT vs. EMPLOYER

HOW CAN INSTANT COMMUNICATIONS  HELP YOUR ORGANISATION?
HOW CAN IT HELP? The disappearance of Suzy Lamplugh more than 22 years ago was front page news. In this deployment the agency staff are issued BB3G handsets and can instantly talk to, or instantly alert to, a centralised control point – either the main agency office or an Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC).
