They are required to set down and implement HS&EP management arrangements for activities in their area of responsibility. The policy statement also requires there to be organisational separation between those who conduct defence activities and those who provide regulation, so that the latter are independent whilst being part of the Department. As Director Defence Safety & Environmental Authority (DSEA), I am responsible for providing defence regulatory regimes for HS&EP in the Maritime domain where there are exemptions, derogations or dis-applications from legislation or where UK legislation does not apply. The regulations set out in this JSP are mandatory and full compliance is required. It is the responsibility of commanders and line managers at all levels to ensure that personnel, including contractors, involved in the management, supervision and conduct of defence activities are fully aware of their responsibilities.
