Workplace manslaughter is now a jailable offence.

As an employer, if a workplace death is caused by criminal negligence you could face up to 25 years in jail, and fines of up to $16.5million.

There is no room for complacency, or negligence, when it comes to health and safety. Employers should always think about the risk to employees and others, and what steps can be taken to mitigate those risks.
