The "Grand Repeal Bill will solve everything. Although I note that part of that seems to be government becoming unquestionable by common muck about everything, and a quite massive ability to pass laws without parliament or people being able to question things.

"Prosecutions for health and safety crimes plummet
Far fewer firms are facing the courts for their workplace health and safety crimes, latest figures show. The TUC says while the fines total had risen sharply since new sentence guidelines were introduced, the number of prosecutions taken by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has plummeted. The union body says according to the latest HSE annual report, in 2015/16 the HSE instituted 696 cases, 95 per cent of which resulted in a conviction for at least one offence. In 2016/17, however, provisional figures show that this fell to 547, a decline of 21 per cent. The use of improvement notices for criminal safety offences, by contrast, increased to 6,700 in 2016/17, up from 5,700 the year before and 6,270 in 2014/15. Between February 2016 and February 2017, the total value of fines imposed on businesses for health and safety offences was £73.2 million. That was up from £35.4 million for the previous 12 months. This reflects new beefed-up sentencing guidelines that came into effect in February last year. The figures also confirm HSE staffing continues to fall in all categories, including frontline inspectors. Total HSE staffing was down to just 2,524 staff as of 31 March 2017. Only 1,061 of these were frontline inspectors, down from almost 1,500 in 2004, when HSE was responsible for far fewer workplaces (Risks 382). TUC head of safety Hugh Robertson says the figures reinforce the importance of trade union safety reps. “Not only do we keep the workplace safer but we can make sure that, whenever an injury or illness leading to more than seven days off work does occur, it is reported, and that less severe injuries are recorded in the accident book,” he said. “The one area that prosecutions are more likely to take place is after a fatality. Again, the priority must be in prevention, but a prosecution of the employer sends an important message and can help give a sense of justice to the family of the victim.” But the TUC safety specialist raised a concern that “workplace killings are treated differently than other killings,” with corporate manslaughter prosecutions taken against the firm. Where individuals are targeted, manslaughter by gross negligence charges are typically filed. “But the penalties on conviction for this type of offence are, on average, less than half that of the other types of manslaughter, with an average of four years in prison against 8-10 for the others” [voluntary, unlawful or involuntary manslaughter]. For health and safety offences the sentence is often suspended. Robertson said the TUC hopes a Sentencing Council recommendation “bringing penalties for health and safety manslaughter in line with all the others” will be accepted"
