June 2007
The Institute of Directors and the Health and Safety Commission (HSC) are asking for help in the production of new, authoritative guidance setting out what is expected of directors.
One of the aims of the HSC, which has responsibility for workplace health and safety regulation in the UK, is to ensure that all organisations with boards have an understanding of their responsibilities for health and safety.
The HSC last issued guidance for directors back in 2001 and felt it was time for new guidance to help get the health and safety message over to directors.
The closing date for taking part in the consultation is Friday
22 June and the HSC hope to have the new guidance available in
autumn 2007.
