Three years down the line and things have happened ..... When might they
happen to you?
First Corporate Manslaughter caseGloucester firm Cotswold Geotechnical Holdings has become the first company to be convicted under new corporate manslaughter legislation.
A jury at Winchester Crown Court found the firm guilty of failure to ensure the safety of young geologist Alexander Wright from Cheltenham.
The 27-year-old soil engineer was investigating ground conditions in a deep trench on a development site in Stroud when it collapsed and killed him in September 2008.
The company will be sentenced on Thursday (17th February) and could be fined a percentage of their turnover.
It is the first prosecution under the new Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act. The firm denied the charge of corporate manslaughter.

what they say about us ..... TfL
“www.cdm2007.org is a great idea, raising awareness of Health and Safety issues within the
construction industry and getting the message over” says Keith Harwood, H&S Manager for
London Streets at TfL....
“Our students who are taking the CDM2007 Coordinator competence training find the course
material and 24x7 availability online is a great advantage. We see many people coming to us
at interview for CDM Coordinator-level posts who really haven’t even got the basics in place -
www.cdm2007.org can change that which will be to our benefit and also to every other
organisation carrying out construction projects”.
The governed competence training offered by www.cdm2007.org gives TfL the confidence of
knowing that staff can demonstrate that they have met minimum standard HSE CDM2007
requirements, with the ability for TfL Senior Management to check on student progress at any
time and for every stage of their training.
what they say about us ..... MouchelPeter Symondson, CDMC and business service director Hertfordshire, Mouchel Group, consultants to Hertfordshire County Council Highways Maintenance Dept (Hertfordshire Highways), said:
"I was enthusiastic about CDM2007.org from the first time that I saw it, and I have been extremely impressed with it as we have rolled it out for Hertfordshire Council. Initially, we bought the product for our own design team, and over time we integrated it with the Council's Property and Highways Maintenance teams, so that we would have a consistent approach to training.
Because it is online, it depends on the individual to use it. In order to help this happen, we created a learning environment, providing a CDM co-ordinator to deliver a weekly facilitated training session and give a demonstration of the first module to get the trainees up and running. This collaborative approach increased take-up of the training from about 10% to nearly 90%. We are now collectively enthusiastic about CDM2007.org, it is the most appropriate training course available both in terms of its cost effectiveness and flexibility of approach and it has become a standard competency tool for us."
