How to avoid corporate manslaughter charges
In an accident your drivers are protected from the front and side with seat belts and airbags. The Department of Transport calculated that at a front impact speed of 25mph a 25kg of potatoes travel forward through the rear seats with a force of 3 tonnes.
That's the same momentum as a baby elephant!
The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) began investigating 40% more corporate manslaughter cases in 2012 than it did the previous year according to figures obtained by Pinsent Masons, the law firm behind Out-Law.com.
Purchasing either Bootsafe or Bootroll could save your company millions of pounds in fines and avoid lengthy court cases. At the same time you'll know your employees are safe.
