OH&S stands for Occupational Health and Safety. Any big company or organization is bound by law to ensure the health, welfare and safety of their staff, contractors and visitors in the working premises. There should be adequate systems for risk management and trained staff to control and activate the system should the need arise.
If the management has certain responsibilities, the employees too have certain duties.
1. First and foremost they have to take care of themselves and others in the workplace. 2. They should avoid any action that will unnecessarily affect the safety of other employees.
3. Fully cooperate with the management, staff and elected members of OH&S.
4. Must comply with the policies, programs or procedures of OH&S.
5. Employees must not misuse systems or equipment meant for OH&S purposes.
6. Any unsafe condition or wrong doing should be reported.
7. Never come to work under the influence of alcohol or drugs. This could lead to accidents and endanger others lives.
Any employees can be prosecuted under the law if it is found that he failed to follow the rules.
