This case is getting a little old now and it’s a section 33 not a section 36.

Or this link

which is a section 36 case but for a consultant not a safety manager.

Or you could look on the HSE data base
http://www.hse.gov.uk/Pr...491&y=17&SO=DACT

and look at the section 36 cases don’t know if any are safety managers.

But also, it depends what the manager's title is/was. It could be argued that in the Barrow in Furness Legionnaire's case, the Design Services Manager has some input into H&S but had a different job title. Just makes it trickier to track down.

I have to agree with that as well. We have been here before with this and as we often see the job title bears little or no relation to what the duties of the job entails. JD is for me more 'key' to any possible proceedings

By the way safetyam - I love the word 'nebulous'

I agree folks, it is the JD that matters when it comes to responsibility. I was only alluding to the difficulty in finding cases due to how the job title is listed, not the responsibilities and accountabilities of the individuals involved.
