Corporate killing legislation row continues

The long-running row over proposed corporate killing legislation is set to continue after health and safety professionals told MPs the current draft of the Bill must make individual directors more responsible for the wellbeing of staff.

In its official submission to parliament, the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH), which represents 28,000 health and safety professionals, called for changes to the current legislation and said company directors should be forced to follow an official safety code.
