Posted By fats van den raad Francis Msc, MIOSH, RSP When I worked for a large organisation, the system worked as follows: Company Safety Policy (eg. XYZ PLC) signed by Chairman of Main Board of Directors Sub Division (XYZ Chemicals) Sifned by Chairman of Board of directors for XYZ Chemicals. Sub- Sub division (XYZ ORGANIC Chemicals)Signed by CEO for XYZ Organic Chemicals (who would also be on board of directors for XYZ Chemicals) Thingymajig Manufacturing plant, part of XYZ Organic chemicals, policy signed by Operations manager. So, in reality Thingymajig manufacturing plant are displaying 4 safety policy documents, That of the parent company, the sub divisions and it's own. At each level though the policy is still signed by the most senior person at that level.

Posted By Merv Newman Group or company policy should be signed by top man - CEO. local or site policy should be signed by top man - MD Merv Actually, I would wish that majority share holders should also sing on to company HSE ploicy. I wish. Before they sign remind them of their legal responsabilities.

Posted By David Sinclair Francis, It does not matter who signs the policy provided he/she is authorised to sign on behalf of the company/organisation. Obviously, in order to show the company's commitment to health and safety, it should be signed by the CEO/MD/Chairman. However, it is very important that whoever signs the policy does so for an on behalf of the board/governing body, not as an individual. If you need more detail, please drop me an email. Regards. David
