What are roles and responsibilities?

Roles are the positions team members assume or are assigned - the part that each person plays in the organisation. Responsibilities are the specific tasks or duties that members are expected to complete according to their roles.

Why roles and responsibilities are important?

Whether you're a company director or a fire warden, your role carries with it certain health and safety responsibilities. Defined roles and responsibilities provide clarity, alignment and expectations to those executing the work and ensuring operations run efficiently and safely. They enable effective communications between various groups, facilitating the full integration of a department and organisation.
