A Planning Supervisor (as used to be called) does not have responsibility for Health and Safety and essentially has no powers to control anything: this is a common misconception. He is responsible for ensuring that the H&S File and Plan are completed. Basically he nags everyone else at meetings to complete the paperwork. He is not an H&S inspector of any sort.
The Main Contracor (in a construction sense) is responsible for H&S, which steps down through his subcontractors as applicable.
