deputy director on life safety


Explanation:
Life-safety:
refers to the joint consideration of both the life and physical well being of individuals.
http://www.w0ipl.net/ragmop.htm
Any type of security system or security system monitoring that is meant to protect one’s life instead of property. Fire alarms, panic buttons, or medical alert systems are all examples of life safety systems.

  -> Thanks Alexandra
agree  Rachel Douglas: But I think "of" is fine. Not "on", though, as two people wanted to write it.
3 hrs
  -> Thanks Rachel. I'm also reasonably happy with "of" - probably just reacting to the automatic assumption that the genitive translates to the preposition "of". Unfortunately for non-native speakers, this is not true!
agree  GregZk

agree  Naveen Kar: Deputy Director (Health and Safety) will also be fine! Hardly matters if it is OF or FOR. But I would have preferred David's version i.e. FOR

  -> I like the brackets - if only to avoid the fairly pointless argument about "of" and "for"!
