On the current trends, statistics show that 1 in 3 road deaths involves a company vehicle driver. The Government DfT casualty figures show that more than 60 employees per month may be killed and many more are injured.
The 2007 Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act puts the law on corporate manslaughter onto a new footing (in Scotland, corporate culpable homicide). An organisation if found guilty of the offence in the way their activities are managed or organised causes a death and proven to a breach of duty of care may be prosecuted under this act.
