12.45pm – 1.05pm | The criminalisation of industrial safety laws: from civil liability to industrial manslaughter
Occupational safety and health law emerged at the turn of the last century from the excesses of the industrial revolution. The laws were in part a reflection of community expectations of minimum standards for working conditions and in part a recognition of the inadequacy of the civil laws in promoting safety standards. What began as a statutory duty of care regime, with offences that are criminal in nature, has now evolved into a suite of criminal offences including serious criminal offences such as industrial manslaughter. This presentation will explore that evolution and assess the current state of the law.
