Roles and Responsibilities: Duty Holders, Managers, Team Leaders, Supervisors and Employees

Employee involvement in health and safety matters contributes to a healthier and safer work environment. Collaborating and communicating between employees and managers also facilitates effective health and safety management in a visible way, fostering a stronger commitment to working safely and ensuring that risk control measures remain reasonable.

As managers, team leaders and supervisors we can communicate with employees and contractors in different ways such as task based training, sharing risk assessments and safe working practices, displaying posters, holding safety Toolbox (or Tea Time) talks, Health & Safety 3rd-tier meetings, or even team emails with safety information.
