By contrast, the Health and Safety Executive is already present in workplaces. It already regulates employers and imposes significant penalties when health and safety obligations are breached. If two care homes in Wales can be fined £400,000 for failing to manage risks of violence from patients, why should a multinational corporation be let off with a warning letter for failing to protect its employees from sexual harassment? I am not asking for the reinvention of the wheel. I am asking that an existing regulator be given a clear mandate to address a risk it already recognises, using powers that it already holds.
