The ultimate accountability for health and safety rests with the highest level of management. However, it is the responsibility of everyone in our organisation to co-operate in providing and maintaining a safe working environment.
All employees are responsible for their own safety and the safety of those affected by what they do, and by what they should have done but didn't. For example, blocking a fire exit door is a dangerous act that could have serious consequences in the event of a fire. Walking past a blocked fire exit door and not removing the blockage is just as dangerous.
This section contains information about our organisation and responsibilities for health and safety.
It is important to understand our structure for health and safety management, as this may be different to our overall business structure. Our organisation chart shows the relationships between the different positions in our management structure. This helps to clarify areas of responsibility and lines of communication.
We have allocated health and safety responsibilities to individual members of staff (see individual responsibilities) to ensure that we are managing health and safety effectively. We have also identified the responsibilities that we all hold as employees and the rules that we must adhere to.
As our advisors, Croner Consulting (formerly IRPC) hold responsibilities that are subject to the details of our contract with them.
In order to demonstrate our collective and individual fulfilment of our duties, we carry out monitoring and checking activities, which are referred to in the designated responsibilities and detailed in the monitoring and checking section.
