In case of having  contractor(s) working for a client in a constructional site, the full responsibility of the HSE work is related to the Client HSE Dept. As an example our current situation as we are looking after more than six contractors, each contractor has their own safety officer/supervisor who is submitting  suitable reports in the area of HSE work. Final responsibility is our own concern including implementing HSE Procedures, and enforcing our Company Policy.
