    That’s nothing.

    100% of last years profit. Make them almost die the first time and utterly ruin them if they do it a second.

    Sick of these insignificant fines that do nothing to stop these companies.

      Its not even borderline ridiculous. The fines are so low they just incorporate them into operating costs. Jail the entire executive suit and board if a company does this shit, no bail.

        I highlighted turnover deliberately. 4% of any company’s turnover is absolutely not something that can be rolled into BAU running costs.

        Not least of all, if a company doesn’t fix the violations, they’ll come for it again with a fresh 4% fine.
