A crack team will enforce some of the toughest industrial manslaughter laws in the nation in a bid to hold bosses and businesses to account.

A senior solicitor, two additional solicitors and a witness assistance officer have joined the Director of Public Prosecution's office in NSW under a $6.9 million government funding commitment until 2028/29.

Their mission will be to pursue individuals or related corporate bodies involved in workplace deaths.

Penalties for individuals successfully prosecuted have been beefed up from maximum 10-year to 25-year jail sentences for individuals.
