Employees
Employees can expect their employer to provide a healthy and safe workplace. However, employees also have a part to play in making sure they stay healthy and safe.
The Act reflects that everyone has a role in health and safety by:
- placing various duties on employers to ensure the health and safety of employees
- placing duties on employees to ensure their own health and safety
- ensuring employees have an opportunity to have input into health and safety at work
- giving employee health and safety representatives a special role in promoting health and safety
