Can anyone give me some quick advice - my company have been taken over (bought out) by a larger company although we are maintaining our trade name and nothing has changed within the business (aprt from the MD). My questiion is do i need to mention the fact that we are part of a larger organisation in my safety policy or can it stay the same and just relate to the original company.
Thanks fopr you help

We are par of a large multinational organisation, however we have our own safety and environmental policy as we have site specific controls, issues and risks. Mentioning your bigger brother as such may be worth while if this subjects you to routing auditing, corporate high level policies etc.

such as "safety is managed on a local level by procedures x, y, and z but is also subject to stringent controls by corporate audits and implemented corparate safety policies x, y, z. Ultimate responsability for safety on site lies with the site manager X with overall corporate responsability for safety lying with Y"
