Health and safety isn’t something you can simply delegate and forget. It’s a core part of leadership, and the HSE is very clear: directors and senior leaders are personally accountable if things go wrong. Strong leadership in health and safety isn’t just about compliance; it’s about protecting the people who work for you, safeguarding your reputation and ensuring your business can operate without costly interruptions or legal issues.
Good health and safety leadership starts with understanding your responsibilities and being actively involved in managing risks. It’s about knowing the hazards your team faces, making informed decisions to reduce them, and involving your people in creating a safer workplace.
