1. Who's Responsibility It Is to Report Hazards (10)
Reporting hazards in the workplace is a shared responsibility that involves multiple parties,
including:
1. Employees:
o Every employee has a duty to report hazards they observe. They are often the first
to notice unsafe conditions or practices since they are directly involved in the day-
to-day operations. Reporting hazards promptly can prevent accidents and injuries.
2. Supervisors and Managers:
o Supervisors and managers are responsible for ensuring the safety of their team
members. They must encourage employees to report hazards and must take
immediate action to address reported hazards. They also have a duty to
communicate safety policies and ensure that safety protocols are followed.
3. Health and Safety Committees/Representatives:
o In some workplaces, health and safety committees or representatives play a
crucial role in identifying and reporting hazards. They work to ensure that safety
issues are addressed and that there is a system in place for reporting and
mitigating risks.
4. Safety Officers:
o Safety officers or designated safety personnel have the specific responsibility to
monitor workplace conditions, conduct safety inspections, and report hazards.
They are responsible for maintaining safety standards and compliance with
regulations.
5. Employers:
o Employers are ultimately responsible for providing a safe work environment.
They must ensure that there are effective systems in place for reporting hazards
and that employees are trained on how to recognize and report potential dangers.
