Whether at the jobsite or office, every employee has a responsibility to themselves, to the other employees, and to the company to work safely. That responsibility includes the elimination of hazards wherever possible, and reporting actual or potential hazards to management or to the Safety and Health Manager immediately upon their observation.
Supervisors are held accountable for compliance with all safety objectives in the performance of every activity. This is especially so in the areas of training and hazard control. Any performance evaluation(s) will reflect their involvement and active participation in accident prevention.
The fact that the company has assigned a Safety and Health Manager does not release managers or supervisors from their safety and health responsibilities in any way. The Safety and Health Manager will be available to assist supervisors in implementing the company Safety and Health Program, but will not be expected to perform the respective supervisors’ duties.
