OSi Annual Report 2009 English Version - Ordnance Survey Ireland

Details of the specific remuneration in
2009 are contained in the Financial
Statements.
Risk Management
The Risk Management process:
OSi continues to develop its Risk
Management processes, including the
organisation‟s Risk Register. This
Register records and indicates the range
of measures necessary, either ongoing
or once off, to mitigate the diverse
range of risks identified. Senior
Managers have responsibility for the
monitoring and management of their
own risks and are required to provide
progress reports on a regular basis with
planned mitigation measures and to
report additional risks as they arise.
The Audit Committee of the Board and
the Head of Internal Audit who reports
directly into the Audit Committee
routinely receive and monitor the Risk
Register. The Board is advised of the
key risks prevailing at the end of each
quarter or more often where a particular
serious risk arises or is imminent.
Corporate Health & Safety
Ordnance Survey Ireland recognises its
responsibility with regard to the safety,
health and welfare at work of all its
employees and members of the public
who may be affected by its operations.
The Health & Safety Committee,
comprising both staff and management
representatives, met on a number of
occasions, reviewing documentation,
procedures and practices with a view to
the furtherance of safety awareness in
the organisation. In 2009, it conducted
a comprehensive review of the Health
and Safety Statement, with the revised
Statement being approved by the Board
at its meeting on 29 April 2009.
Through the monthly Health and Safety
reporting structures for Team Leaders
that have been put in place, Health and
Safety is discussed at team meetings on
a regular basis, thus ensuring that
awareness and compliance for Health
and Safety rests at team level.
During 2009, to support the Health and
Safety processes, a public tender
completion was held to select new
Health and Safety Consultants for the
organisation. Using professionally
qualified in-house personnel, training
was delivered in First Aid to certificate
level, with refresher training delivered
to those already trained in First Aid. All
OSi offices have been equipped with
defibrillators, with training and
monitoring of this equipment also
continuing during 2009.
