Abstract
Those responsible for hazards have, under English law, a great deal of freedom to decide how to act, but with that freedom goes responsibility. The requirement is to do what is reasonable and not more than that. To achieve this duty holders need to be proactive, in touch with government thinking, aware of societal pressures and research, and to keep an eye on both day-to-day activities and strategic objectives, to prevent these from drifting apart. Various activities are suggested which can help bring this about.
