Dear all just a question or two who carries out risk assessment review once completed by Managers or Supervisors, is the expectation at your place of work for the Health and safety Manager/advisor to carry this function out? or do you involve all, e.g. work-shops? also can anyone give a clear indication of directors responsibilities for Health and Safety, is it best practice to have a named Director or a Board with shared responsibility apology in advance for what appears to be a couple of naïve question's, just want to meet best practice many thanks

Hi Zanshin, I would suggest that the reviews are carried out by a competent person with knowledge and experience of the area/ system under review. This could then be checked by you once completed. Ultimately, the responsibility for Health and safety site with those in charge of the company. All Directors will have responsibility for Health & Safety, but in terms of line management it may be that you mainly report to one or other. However, there will be a lot of cross over. I would suggest you support the directors by making them aware of their responsibilities, as it will be a lot easier to implement necessary changes, etc. when you have their support. You could start by looking here: http://www.hse.gov.uk/leadership/
