Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The senior management team's legal fundamental health and safety responsibilities are to take reasonable precautions to ensure employee safety. This includes creating policies and procedures, implementing and enforcing safety regulations, and providing training and education to employees on how to properly operate equipment and tools, identify potential hazards, and respond to emergencies. It is not their primary responsibility to ensure day-to-day health and safety of employees, nor is it solely to follow on-site daily rules and expectations of the organization. While they should also follow health and safety on-site practices, this is not their overarching responsibility.
