Roles and Responsibilities
Health and Safety is a priority for SCL, and of paramount importance to our staff and our business, and key importance will be attached to the achievement of Health and Safety objectives, next to other business objectives. SCL seeks to perform beyond a level of basic compliance and to become an exemplar and leader in the sports and education industry regarding safety risk management. This policy is an integral part of the SCL Health & Safety Management System, which is drawn up, overseen, and monitored by the Health & Safety Committee and Head of Health and Safety on behalf of the CEO and Senior Executive Board. The Health and Safety Policy Statement and related policies and procedures will be agreed by the CEO and Executive Management Board in consultation with the Head of Health and Safety. The Policy is executed through the Head of Health & Safety, who have been allocated specific responsibilities for managing and leading on Health and Safety. Emphasis is placed on recognising potential hazards and accident risks and taking steps to minimise their effect on employees and others.
Specific responsibilities are as below:
Chief Executive Officer The CEO has overall responsibility for Health & Safety at SCL and setting the policy.
It is the responsibility of CEO and Executive Board to ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable the provision of a safe and healthy working environment for all SCL personnel (employed, contracted, or seconded) and others affected by SCL business; and to provide the resources, information, training, and supervision required for this purpose. The CEO may delegate duties to the Head of Health & Safety who will provide support to meet the responsibilities. Delegation of the individual duties and responsibilities to employees does not in any way detract or remove the ultimate responsibility and duty of care placed on the above person by the Health and Safety at work Act 1974.
The CEO’s Health and Safety responsibilities are to ensure he:
• Leads in developing a positive Health and Safety culture throughout the organisation. • Monitors the effectiveness of the Health & Safety Policy and the safe working practices described within it and shall revise and amend it as necessary on a regular basis. • Provides sufficient resources, both financial and physical, are available so that the Policy and its arrangements can be implemented effectively. • Provides appropriate insurance cover. • Sets Health and Safety targets and review the Health and Safety performance of the company on an annual basis. • Engages in and promote the active participation of workers in improving Health and Safety. • Ensures a competent person is named in the policy to fulfil legal duties as directed in Management regulations.
