As the employer you have overall responsibility for health and safety
You can delegate responsibility for day-to-day tasks to someone else, eg a manager or supervisor. Make sure they keep you informed about health and safety matters: they are still your overall responsibility.
You can delegate specific tasks to individuals in your organisation, by workplace area or by topic. Responsibilities should be clearly set so that if there are any health and safety concerns, they can be reported to the right person.
Employees also have legal responsibilities to take care of the health and safety of themselves and others, and to cooperate with you to help you comply with the law.
Durham Safety Service are able to review and write bespoke Health & Safety Polices for your business.
