HSE: Leading and managing for health and safety

Summary

Leaders, at all levels, need to understand the range of health and safety risks in their part of the organisation and to give proportionate attention to each of them. This applies to the level of detail and effort put into assessing the risks, implementing controls, supervising and monitoring.

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) gives examples of effective and ineffective health and safety management to check if you are doing what you need to do on leadership.
