Responsibilities
The establishment and maintenance of high standards
for Health and Safety is a practical expression of concern, not only for
ourselves but also for all those with whom we come into contact at our place of
work or study. It is, therefore, a matter for all of us. We are all responsible
for safety. Without the ready co-operation of all users of the facilities, the
intent of the Health and Safety at Work Act will not be
achieved.
