Worker health and safety covers many specialties. In its most general sense, it should seek to:<\/p>\n
\n- promote and maintain the highest possible degree of physical, mental and social health of workers in all occupations;<\/li>\n
- prevent adverse effects on the well-being of workers due to their working conditions;<\/li>\n
- Protect workers from hazards that may affect their health;<\/li>\n
- provide and maintain employees in a work environment that meets their physical and mental needs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
The health and safety of workers covers all facets of their social, psychological and physical well-being.<\/p>\n
To ensure worker safety, employers (or companies) and employees (or workers) must collaborate on health and safety (H&S) programs, including occupational medicine, industrial hygiene, toxicology, training, machine safety, ergonomics, psychology, etc.<\/p>\n
Because worker health issues are generally more difficult to address than safety issues, they tend to receive less attention from employers. However, when we talk about health, we are also talking about safety, because a healthy workplace is necessarily a safe workplace. But the reverse is not always true. A workplace can be safe without necessarily being healthy. Health and safety must be considered in all workplaces. Overall, the above broad definition of worker health and safety covers health and safety issues in a broad sense.<\/p>\n
Why is worker health and safety important?<\/h2>\n
Most people spend at least eight hours a day working for someone else, whether they are employed by a company, government agency, non-profit organization, etc. Therefore, the work environment should be healthy and comfortable. Unfortunately, this is not the case for some workers. <\/p>\n
Every day, workers across Canada are exposed to a variety of health risks:<\/p>\n
\n- dust;<\/li>\n
- gases<\/li>\n
- noise;<\/li>\n
- vibration;<\/li>\n
- temperature extremes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
What are each person’s responsibilities for occupational health and safety?<\/h2>\n
Management and workers share responsibility for occupational health and safety. Supervisors and managers are responsible for ensuring compliance with occupational health and safety laws.<\/p>\n
A person’s responsibilities can be defined as his or her obligations to perform the tasks assigned to him or her. Authority involves the right and ability to make decisions and direct others. You can delegate responsibility and authority to others by giving them permission to act on behalf of others, such as superiors. It is important to remember that while some responsibilities cannot be delegated, the supervisor must remain accountable for their execution.<\/p>\n
To fulfill their responsibilities, individuals must be able to make decisions and direct people as needed. A supervisor gives someone else the responsibility to act on his or her behalf, but remains accountable for the results achieved by that person.<\/p>\n
These responsibilities apply to everyone in the company, including its president or CEO. By stating these responsibilities, each worker knows exactly what he or she must do to ensure the safety of others.<\/p>\n
To be able to fulfill their individual responsibilities, people must:<\/p>\n
\n- Know these responsibilities (communication required).<\/li>\n
- Have the authority to carry out these responsibilities (organizational issue).<\/li>\n
- Have the necessary skills and knowledge (such as those obtained through education, training or certification).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
If the above conditions are met, supervisors can evaluate employees’ safety performance on the same basis as other job requirements. Safety is not something you can “add on” to your responsibilities; it is something you must always think about.<\/p>\n
