These are the first guidelines for sentencing organisations not individuals. The council uses these guidelines to help courts make decisions on sentencing organisations that have caused death through a serious breach of care\u00a0of the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">New guidelines, which took effect from Monday (February 15), have set out the precise financial risk that organisations face if they have not done everything possible to minimise health and safety hazards with their vehicles.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Under these new guidelines, if a work-related road death leads to a prosecution for a breach of the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, the fine will be &#8220;&#8230;.seldom less than \u00a3100,000 and may be measured in hundreds of thousands of pounds or more&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">And if conviction of corporate manslaughter is proven, the fine imposed will be &#8220;&#8230;seldom less than \u00a3500,000 and may be measured in millions of pounds&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Tyre Pressure Monitoring and Brake Testing are two ways that organisations with a driving workforce can be vigilant in avoiding accidents at work.
