Time to time HSE responsibilities will be discussed during HSE meetings, Tool box talk at
respective work location.

This responsibility lies with line management from Top management to the lowest level. This
procedure is prepared as a part of HSE strategy.

Senior Management has to establish & maintain the HSE policy and to develop & coordinate the
safety organization that is needed to implement that policy, but safety, being a line responsibility,
must be included in the existing management organisation & must be part of each managers and
supervisors duties & responsibilities within the context of his/her employment & therefore be part
of his/her job description & daily duties

However, responsibility for safety does not stop at supervisory levels. All employees have to be
involved in the safety effort & be aware of their role in the Safety organisation & what their own
responsibilities are.

Finally, if these basic principles are not understood or not applied in the company then there is very
little chance to set up & maintain a well functioning HSE procedures Manual & acceptable HSE
performance will always be a lucky strike & not an achievement of good management.

As far as the organization for HSE concerned, it should be clear to everyone by now that there is no
other organization necessary for managing HSE in the Company. The organization for the
management of the company is pictured in the Organinogram contained in the process management
system.
