Posted By Wazza My personal opinion is to have site safety managers, who oversee procedures, systems etc. The remaining site management should be expected, along with employee representatives to undertake audits, inspections and assessments, as all have a collective responsibility. Secondly, I would suggest that each manager report either to the senior group manager? It is important to emphasise the need for collective responsibility, safety is everyones business, but many don't realise. Take the time to review management at each site, look at accident trends/rates and determine from them how they think they can cope with the demands of todays legislation. One would doubt whether they can. Oh and as a final straw, you need the board champion - the one who will fight your cause - in the boardroom. Hopefully he will have a backbone, because the one I had prior to my current position was about as much use as a fleece in the tropics. Take the time and consult! Good luck. Wazza
