As an employee, you have an obligation to work in a safe manner to protect yourself and others in your workplace, but do you know what your responsibilities, rights, and obligations are?
Contrary to what some employees believe, Health and Safety is not just the employer's responsibility. You have to concern yourself with safety issues because it is the law. A safe and healthy work environment provides the foundation for increased productivity and profitability levels. Prevention is the best way to deal with safety issues.
