The Confederation of British Industry (CBI) has since praised the Government for taking a "common-sense" approach.
Michael Roberts, CBI Director of Business Environment, said: "This announcement steers clear of some of the pitfalls that had most worried business.
"It is absolutely right that negligent firms should be prosecuted for gross misconduct leading to death. But responsible firms with good health and safety practices must be treated fairly.
"We are particularly pleased that the government has avoided the temptation to target individual directors. Good health and safety practice comes from a shared responsibility across the workforce, not from trying to blame an individual unfairly.
"The CBI will study the new proposals carefully and looks forward to making a constructive contribution."
