In the light of many high profile presentations being made including those @ the iosh 2007 conference I would suspect this link will be of interest. I will post it again below so that it is easier (I hope) for people to copy.

For those trying to use this URL splice it all back together and put it into the address bar of your browser.

This reminds me to look at this document and review it.

What is the legal requirement for having Directors in UK companies?

We are currently part of an UK owner corporation, with a named Director & Company Secretary (who we know by name only, and has not visited the site in the last 2 years) - but our 2 sites (employing ~150 & ~20) will be sold to a French company in Q3.

Both sites currently have a Site Manager.

At this stage - there is no mention of what will happen to the named Director or Company Secretary - we presume at site level that they will be replaced by the French Board.

What information do I need to tell them?

How worried should our Site Managers be?

PS The HSE are already in the process of investigating our working practices (10 inspector visits in last 2 months)

The structure defined in your health and safety PO&A will be the HSE start point - the lack of directors based in the UK will probably prompt further HSE interest. The organisation section must define the director level and report lines. It is also a requirement under company law for these persons to defined and named.

As the IoD are putting their name to this I suspect that plcs will be formally required to comply under the listing requirements in the near future. It is a shame that IOSH are not identified as an input - Richard will no doubt be able to let us know if we were part of the consultation.

Google for the Institute of Directors website and then follow the links. It was working yesterday when I entered.
