This week’s e-newsletter from HSW magazine is crammed with must-read articles and features. The corporate manslaughter law set to come into force this April has focused the minds of many executive boards on the needs to have at least a basic grasp of their businesses' safety policies and performance. Our main feature, Keeping safety high on the board agenda, looks at British Sugar’s director-led approach to safety management.
