Are you Prepared for the New Sentencing Guidelines?

The new sentencing guidelines can be considered the biggest change in health and safety law for 40 years.

In this blog I will concentrate on the impact of these new guidelines on individuals, which includes company directors, senior officers and health and safety professionals.
