In this video, we’ll be diving into Element 1.3, and we’ll be exploring the following key topics:
- Roles of directors/managers/supervisors
- How top management can demonstrate commitment by:

- reviewing health and safety performance
- Responsibilities of organisations who share a workplace to work together on health and safety issues (C155 Article 17, R164 Recommendation 11)
- How clients and contractors should work together:

- effective planning and co-ordination of contracted work
- pre-selection and management of contractors.
