                            of Convictions of Directors 
                          The 
                            CCA has undertaken research into the number of directors 
                            convicted for health and safety offences. 
                          Most 
                            - if not all - of these prosecutions relate to offences 
                            under section 37 of the Health and safety at Work 
                            Act.

                          Most 
                            of this information comes from an extensive interrogaation 
                            of HSE's own prosecution database which is supposed 
                            to have details of all convictions since April 1999. 
                            The CCA however found some cases that are not on the 
                            database.
