Abstract: In this article, the authors offer ideas to employers for complying with the Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act of 2007 in Great Britain. According to the authors, employers could have to amend contracts and reporting lines to protect against prosecutions under the law. They suggest that the human resource department will need to interact more closely with health and safety managers and senior team members to work out exactly who will be defined as senior management needed for the law.
