Legislation
Legislation can be a mine field for any business. Understanding the requirements and implications can be daunting.
In any organisation safety is the responsibility of the Duty Holder. That could be the owner, a director, or the
facilities manager. A Duty Holder’s responsibility is to “comply with the Regulations in so far as it relates to matters within his control.” Duty Holders are deemed to have the resources and the authority necessary to provide a safety management system and can be held legally accountable following an offence. It is essential for Duty Holders to discharge their responsibilities effectively. However, not only the Duty Holder has a role to play in safety.
All employees should be made aware of safe working practices and owners/directors should certainly be confident that their organisation complies with relevant legislation.
