general module . . .    

Duties of Employees

Once you have been properly trained and instructed, you should take care to look after your own safety and not put other workers at risk.

Your responsibilities include:

  • following safety and health instructions provided by the employer;

  • correctly using personal protective equipment and clothing;

  • taking care to use equipment safely and for its intended purpose;

  • reporting hazards;

  • reporting work-related injuries or harm to health; and

  • cooperating with the employer on safety and health matters.

  Remember that cooperation and consultation are the keys to a safe and healthy workplace. Employers and employees should talk to each other to solve safety and health problems at work.
