Leadership Commitment

All managers have a responsibility for health and safety and are required to demonstrate clear commitment to health and safety, promote the right attitudes and behaviours and drive continuous improvement.

Every manager is accountable for the health and safety performance of their own team.  Managers confirm that all employees understand their roles, objectives and processes, have sufficient resources, materials, equipment and information, are fit and competent and have appropriate feedback on performance.

Managers help their people understand what is expected of them through briefing of job descriptions, confirmation that they are aware of and understand any standards and procedures relevant to their role, and setting of annual objectives.  Managers arrange for new team members to undergo appropriate induction, including local induction.

Every manager has a responsibility to monitor the health and safety performance of their team, including compliance with mandatory standards and procedures.
