Safety Responsibility

While top management is ultimately accountable for health and safety issues it does not absolve any other employee of his or her legal responsibilities. Additionally, management of safety practices is an ongoing task requiring regular reviews in order to remain current.

A successful safety policy must not only identify and remove hazards but also promote safe working practices to create a close caring relationship so that individuals and working teams will watch out for one another.

In a nutshell, working teams must understand the dangers, protect one another, build the right attitude, always maintain a ‘safety first’ approach and obey the rules.

Teamwork is the watchword!

Working at the same job for many years tends to make people overconfident. This suggests experienced employees, plus inexperienced workers, may lead to higher injury statics.

This outline offers a chance to curtail those statistics by ensuring that employees, who understand workplace safety hazards, also assume personal responsibilities to fellow workers.

Everyday is a different challenge.

Follow all Safety Rules…safety rules are for everyone’s protection.

The information included here presents a proven triple strategy to a safer workplace:

First, understand the hazards and know how to protect yourself and your team members;

Second, always maintain a ‘safety first ‘ approach; and

Third, obey the safety rules and develop an active caring attitude.

A safe workplace takes teamwork.

This material offers an opportunity for everyone to promise to watch out for one another.

At the same time, it provides a detailed Safety Behavior Check List. Finally, it includes a reminder of employees’ rights and responsibilities.

Once again it’s worth saying that Teamwork equals SAFETY.

Remember the domino effect…remove the cause, and there won’t be any effect. 

"For the want of a nail the shoe was lost…" is a clever 18th century ditty encouraging children to apply logical progression to the consequences of their actions.

In today’s world it’s ‘The Domino Effect’ and workers must always remember that small slip-ups can have far reaching results.

“Safety first” will produce safety dividends.

 

Safety responsibility depends on you.

Exactly what are these employees’ rights everyone talks about?

They are ‘rights’ that must be included in the company’s safety procedures.

Now, even though the team understands these rights are they also aware of the specific responsibilities that come with them?

Has your team ‘signed off’ on them? If you’re not sure, check the rights here!
