Recent HSE guidance for directors and senior managers suggests that:

• The board needs to accept formally and publicly its collective role in providing health and safety leadership in its organisation.
• Each member of the board needs to accept their individual role in providing health and safety leadership for their organisation.
• The board needs to ensure that all board decisions reflect its health and safety intentions, as articulated in the health and safety policy statement.
