I try to be very succinct, use bullets and group similar roles together, using titles such as Senior managers (rather than specific roles) I also try not to detail the roles of the fire wardens, first aiders etc as these are detailed elsewhere. Unfortunately I think that this is one document that is very difficult to reduce in size etc

Yep, group mine by roles as well EH&S Advisor - level 4 Managing Director and Senior Managers - level 3 Department Managers and H&S reps - level 2 Employees - level 1 All senior managers are also H&S reps so it is just the general employees who are raised one level by being reps. Hope this helps.

I've done the same as everyone else suggests however when we went for 18001 I structured policies into relevant topic areas, e.g Control of Contractors, Workstation & DSE, New and Expectant Mothers. I listed all the appropriate functions from Organisation CEO, Directors, managers and importantly individuals and outlined through bullet points what they were responsible for in relation to the topic. It made people understanding what they needed to do so much easier and avoided staff moans that the organisation weren't doing there bit when they had an absolute role to play under the HASAWA.
