In this article you will learn what workplace safety is, and who is responsible for workplace safety.

Definition

Workplace safety involves workspace conditions, safety procedures, and more. It revolves around anything that can affect the health and well-being of an employee.

Guidelines

In addition to following safety rules that should be given to you when you start a job, if you are the administrator of a job, you should also give your employees guidelines for safety. Proper safety procedures can help prevent careless accidents and can also prevent lawsuits. Most importantly, though, you can be safe at work by asking questions if you are unsure how something should be done, and by asking for help if you need it. Workplace safety is easy to attain, when one has the information she needs.

Responsibility


Both the employer and the employee are responsible for workplace safety.

Employers

Employers should maintain their workspace in a manner that is conducive to a safe environment. Employers should also provide their staff and employees with instructions, guidelines, and rules for what to do for various situations. Employers must provide efficient safety materials for employees to use to prevent injury or unsafe conditions.

Employees

Employees must abide by their employer's safety guidelines. They must also take care to pay attention to their own safety as well as their coworkers' safety. Employees should use the protective equipment that their employers provide, and they should report any potentially harmful or dangerous situation to their employer so it can be taken care of.
