REPORT ON ANALYSING THE ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES FOR HEALTH AND
SAFETY OF KEY PERSONNEL IN A SELECTED WORKPLACE

TO: TEACHER
FROM: YOURSELF
DATE: ------

1
...
Since
I am a student at this college I can look further into what those everyday tasks are and if
they’re still meeting the lawful requirements of health and safety
...

...
This
involves looking back at their legal duties, if there are competent people in the workplace,
how people’s roles, duties and responsibilities are performed, whether health and safety
actually is being monitored controlled and verified, if everyone is doing what they can to
ensure the area is safe and what recommendations can be made
...

...
These include acts such as Fire
Precautions, Health and Safety at Work, Electricity at Work Regulations, Noise at Work
Regulations, The Workplace Regulations, Display Screen Equipment Regulations, Personal
Protective Equipment at Work Regulations, Care of Substances Hazardous to Health
Regulations (COSHH), The Reporting of Injuries, Diseases & Dangerous Occurrences
Regulations (RIDDOR) and Working Time Directive & Working Time Regulations
...
But if staff who take care of issues such as these

ensure that everyone within the college have the tuition and direction needed to avoid and sort
out any risks, then it is agreed throughout the establishment that no such dangers should be
presented again
...
There have been very few problems
concerning the constant impact of the industry and all of its workers, so ‘corporate social
responsibility’ must be doing fine so long as everyone as well as key personnel can ensure
this continues
...
These are ‘competent people’, and
despite those problems that are out of staff hands, they are the one’s who report these type of
issues and have done so when needed
...

There’s a department that works specifically on the HSE of the workplace, with the health
and safety officer as management on such matters, inspecting everyday on what should be
changed and updated
...
A factor that I find the managing director
could improve is setting an example of health and safety, because there is not much
identification of this, which can be improved by setting up more equipment of safety that can
be easily seen, if there were annual meetings which inform us of our H&S responsibilities,
and if training of staff on such matters could be shown with students
...
This can be enhanced by placing posters which describe health and
safety policy, assessment books for all students and continuous demonstrated risk assessments
for everyone each week/month
...
Such as bringing H&S matters to the board of directors at regular
periods, that a satisfactory training programme on HSE is provided and that the safety culture
is encouraged for all employees, that distributing and communicating health, safety and
welfare data acquired for the H
...
E, Safety organisations and Trade associations are by
passable means, making certain that any new duties and allegations are brought on HSE are
brought to the Board of Directors, and interact with the Safety Manager about the full extent
of their roles and responsibilities
...
This could be improved with more demonstrations
of health and safety such as showing classes around the college on what can be dangerous, or
any urgent messages or new data can be passed throughout staff so tutors can tell their
students of new information
...
Perhaps this can
improve by going through all of the relevant procedures before students begin a course at the
start of the year and perhaps again midway, or by occasionally reminding everyone of where
all safety equipment is, even if they already have a clear idea as they should be informed
...
Which include watching health
records and creating health support systems, having staff follow H&S training agendas,
reporting any problems to the collage boards with reports, providing advice on the use,
protection and storage of equipment and machinery
...
There are many tasks here, but analysis shows that the
Director has ensured they are well performed and has increased the overall protection of the
area
...

CONCLUSION
To conclude, I have performed more research which has provided greater detail on the roles
and responsibilities of key personnel within my college and the health and safety officer
...
Improvements can be made, but generally the entire organisation is monitoring
and upholding the requirements needed to work risk free
