Understanding duties as an officer is essential for boards to lead with confidence on health and safety. Boards play a critical role in shaping the culture, providing oversight and setting the strategic direction needed to keep people safe and organisations thriving.

Good health and safety governance isn’t just about ticking boxes – it’s about creating workplaces where people feel valued and risks are well managed.

By stepping up in this space, boards not only ensure compliance, but also build trust, enhance performance and drive long-term success for everyone involved.
