Peter Stewart: euphemism of the day

Peter Stewart fields a question on management of records during a session on the new corporate manslaughter law and its implications for health and safety culture:

If there is something that you think will be the smoking gun that will damage you, you are better off not retaining it.

It gets a big laugh. That said, Stewart goes on, it can be helpful to retain documents if they aren't excessively smoking or gunlike - being able to demonstrate an active improvement of health and safety standards is a good thing.

"So if you only had one finger in the till, rather than your whole hand..." joshes Tim Hames.
