5. Director’s Responsibilities There are 5 Action Points for Executive Directors from the Health & Safety Commission: ACTION POINT 1: EMT needs to accept formally and publicly its collective role in providing health & safety leadership in the organisation ACTION POINT 2: Each director needs to accept their individual role in providing health & safety leadership in the organisation ACTION POINT 3: EMT needs to ensure that all board decisions reflect its health and safety intentions as articulated in the health and safety statement ACTION POINT 4: EMT needs to recognise its role in engaging the active participation of workers in improving health and safety ACTION POINT 5: EMT needs to ensure that it is kept informed of, and alert to, relevant health and safety risk management issues. It is recommended that the board appoint one of your number to be the ‘health & safety director’. And of course this will be policed with the big stick of the Corporate Killing Bill
