Organisational responsibilities matrix
Health and safety policies comprise three parts: a general statement of intent; a description of the responsibilities allocated to fulfil the policy (known as your “Organisation”); and details of the “Arrangements” for health and safety. This organisational matrix will help support part two of your policy.
The aim of this Organisational Responsibilities Matrix is to make sure that specific roles are allocated for the implementation of the policy which you will have created using our Health and Safety Policy statement. It should be used in conjunction with your more detailed Health and Safety Policy Organisation document, but sets out on one page what’s what.
What’s included?
This matrix covers the typical responsibilities of the board, managing director, supervisors and all employees. Make sure that each individual has a clear set of responsibilities and that all of your activities are accurately reflected. Try to avoid deleting responsibilities completely unless they are clearly not applicable.
This document will need to be adapted to suit each organisation’s needs but should be appropriate for many low-risk businesses without the need for many changes.
