This expresssion popped up in a a description of the safety related duties of various officers and managers in a company. "Le DI à --------- et le chef d'agence en agence ont la responsiblité e moyens pour la lutte contre l'incendie---" If this were a bank we would say something like "branch manager in his facility" but this is a factory.
