ACCOUNTABLE MANAGER
Depending on the size, structure and complexity of the organisation, the accountable manager may be:
(a) the chief executive officer (CEO);
(b) the chief operating officer (COO);
(c) the chair of the board of directors;
(d) a partner; or
(e) the proprietor.
The appointment of an accountable manager, who is given the necessary authority and responsibilities, requires that the individual has the necessary competences to fulfil the role. The accountable manager may have more than one function in the organisation. Nonetheless, the accountable manager’s role is to instil safety to personnel as a core organisational value, and to ensure that the safety management system is properly implemented and maintained through the allocation of resources and tasks.
