Board-Level Health and Safety Responsibilities

### Director Duties Under the **Companies Act 2006** and health and safety law, directors have a personal duty to ensure that the company complies with its health and safety obligations. Failure can result in personal prosecution. ### What Good Board Governance Looks Like * A clear, board-approved health and safety policy * Regular reporting of health and safety performance to the board * Evidence of active monitoring and review * A competent person appointed and resourced * Incident data analysed for trends, not just individual events ### How LRMS Supports Boards We provide board reporting packs that translate operational data into governance-ready insight: action tracker status, audit findings, incident trends, and upcoming review deadlines — so directors can demonstrate oversight without drowning in detail.
