Mapping Overlapping Duties Between Organisations – Guidance Tool

 

This guidance tool helps public sector agencies identify and map overlapping health and safety duties under the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015. It introduces five core relationship types—Contracts, Property, Emergency Response, Events, and Workflow Crossover—to support consistent classification and understanding of shared responsibilities between PCBUs. The tool outlines practical steps for identifying relationships, clarifying responsibilities, monitoring activities, and reviewing arrangements, enabling agencies to coordinate efforts proportionally to risk and context.
