| Interesting case here, London Zoo found to be guilty of two health & safety breaches with their fine reduced as they are a charity. We’re a bit torn on this one, does this create a sense of complacency amongst charities and provide opportunity for other organisations to plead for leniency if found to be in breach in the future?
Granted they now have a prosecution on their record and one would expect them to be more pro-active in their approach in the future but something just doesn’t feel right about how the judge has decided the level of the fine for an organisation that has annual turnover of over £60m. #workplacesafety #workingatheight #charity Click here to read the article from SHPOnline |
