Employee Responsibilities

As an employee, it is your responsibility to make safety your first priority. You are entitled by law to working conditions that do not pose a risk of serious harm to you.

As an employee you should do the following:

• Take reasonable care of your own health and safety.
• Avoid wearing jewelry or loose clothing if operating machinery.
• Take reasonable care not to put other people - fellow employees and members of the public - at risk by what you do or do not do in the course of your work.
• Cooperate with your employer, making sure you get proper training and that you understand and follow the company's health and safety policies.
• Do not interfere with or misuse anything that has been provided for your health, safety, or welfare.
• Report any injuries, strains, or illnesses that you suffer as a result of doing your job.
• Tell your employer if something happens that might affect your ability to work, like becoming pregnant or suffering an injury.
• Tell your employer if you take medication that makes you drowsy.
