Ministry Of Defence
Please note Defence Safety was formally known as Health, Safety and Environmental Protection (HS&EP). Some documents may still refer to HS&EP as they are being updated.
The Ministry of Defence is acutely aware of the duty of care it owes to its people, the public and the environment and therefore takes its safety obligations extremely seriously.
The Safety function owner is the Chief Operating Officer who has delegated authority to lead the function to the Director of Safety. The Director of Safety has made it her personal mission to build a strong culture of safety, where there is genuine care for all those who deliver defence activities and those who may be affected by defence activities, where there is open and honest reporting and where everyone feels able to speak up.
