Ingredients of safety at work offence by officer
“An offence was committed by an officer of a body corporate which broke health and safety laws through his behaviour if he either knew of the relevant facts giving rise to the offence, or if he did not know, should by reason of the circumstances, have been put on inquiry as to whether the relevant safety procedures were in place.”
