3.2.3 Directors and senior managers
The Health and Safety Commission has identified health and safety as a boardroom issue. The chairman and or chief executive are seen as having a critical role to play in ensuring risks are properly managed. They funher argue that those at the top of any organisation have a key role to play. In order to allow directors and senior managers to contribute to the HSC it is recommended that a director is given specific responsibilities for health and safety. These again will be detailed in the organisa tion section of the company's health and safety policy.
