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 behaviour 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 get appropriate feedback on performance.
Managers help their team members understand what is expected of them through job description briefings, getting confirmation from them that they are aware of and understand any standards and procedures relevant to their
role.
Managers arrange for new team members to undergo appropriate induction, including local induction, and health and safety awareness forms part of their annual objectives.
Managers have a responsibility to monitor the health and safety performance of their team and ensure compliance with mandatory standards and procedures.
