Directors: fast-track your safety know-how
Developing and managing an effective health, safety and
environment policy is ultimately the responsibility of a company's
directors. A good policy with support from the top can save money
and improve relations with employees, customers and neighbours –
and, of course, helps to keep the company and its managers out of
court and out of jail. The revised edition of Questioning
performance includes current and planned legislation and:
• sets out good practice in an easily digestible
format
• offers the non-expert a no-nonsense approach to risk
assessment
• outlines succinctly the regulatory approach to major
hazards
• gives key facts, current high level strategies and other
information that risk-literate senior managers need to know.
The authors speak from experience. David Eves is a former deputy
director-general of the HSE. John Gummer MP served as Secretary of
State for the Environment and Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries
and Food.
