Posted By Philip McAleenan Jonathon, "...boards are expected to take due regard of, and deal fairly with, ...stakeholder interests, including those of employees, creditors, customers, suppliers and local communities". (OECD Principles of Corporate Governance, annotation to Principle V, Responsibilities of the Board). Corporate Governance only has an effect on safety if the Company is willing to apply the principles developed and enunciated by the OECD. They are published as: "OECD Principles Of Corporate Governance", 1999. Go to www.oecd.org for further details. You may also like to read the Green Paper, "Promoting a European Framework for Corporate Social responsibility", obtainable from The Directorate-General for Employment and Social Affairs, ISBN 92-894-1478-2, from the Office of Official Publications of the European Communities, Luxembourg. Hope this helps, Philip
