Corporate Homicide Bill

[As Introduced]
A
BILL
to

This bill creates a new crime called 'corporate homicide' that allows companies themselves (not just individual workers) to be prosecuted and punished if their negligence or poor safety management causes someone's death. It aims to make large organisations take workplace safety seriously and hold them accountable for preventable deaths.

Presented by Chris Stephens.
