Employees

Your employer is required to protect you from the risk of exposure to hazardous substances in the workplace.

At the same time, you have a general duty to take reasonable care for your own health and safety, and that of others who may be affected by your work, and to cooperate with your employer’s efforts to make the workplace safe.

This may include:

  • following workplace safety policies and procedures
  • using control measures provided
  • participating in any health surveillance as required
  • attending health and safety training
  • helping to identify hazards and risks.
