Every one of these companies prosecuted had internal and or external H&S advisors. They also had approved standards and accreditation’s.

Hi Richard, this story was covered here: https://www.shponline.co.uk/in-court/bupa-fined-3m-after-legionnaires-death-of-elderly-resident/. The article above is measured by what SHP readers have shown most interest in, rather than the largest fines.
