Practical health and safety governance insights for directors and business leaders.
The Health and Safety at Work Act 2015 (HSWA) requires directors to take ultimate responsibility for the health and safety of their business. The principles underpinning health and safety governance are no different than any other aspect of a governance role. Good health and safety governance is about having a demonstrable plan and a pro-active approach to making the workplace as safe as it can be.
This health and safety governance update will provide an overview of directors’ duties and liabilities under the HSWA Act, introducing key terms and concepts central to meeting these obligations, while providing practical information on how to deliver best practice governance.
