Personnel responsible for preparation, implementation and maintenance of the RMMP are to be assigned by senior management. In common with operational control procedures described above, you should ensure that responsibility for each section of the RMMP is allocated to a person, and that person is aware of the responsibility, has the training, resources, time, and authority to discharge that responsibility. The responsibilities must include that of a nominated member of top management, who will be responsible for ensuring the overall environmental management program is implemented and performance objectives met.
