Health and Safety
I can recall early in my career being frustrated when my supervisor explained why I needed to follow a fire alarm drill that inconvenienced me from my duties and often made me stand out in the rain. Of course now with the knowledge that working safely is paramount and that I have a duty of care to all staff I smiled when the alarm sounded today and 60 staff (and VIP clients in the building) were marshalled to the safe area by Brian Reade, our imposing warehouse manager.
I found it comforting that the drill went like clockwork and the various safety officers had signed sheets accounting for everyone. Directors (statutory and non statutory) I am sure will realise the moral responsibilities and also importantly the personal liability by not investing sufficient resource in this type of area.
