It is common knowledge that employees need to do all that is possible to help create a safe and healthy working environment for their employees. What may not be as commonly known is the fact that workers are also responsible for their own health and safety and must help their employees to reduce the risks. Workers must ensure their actions do not put themselves or those around them at risk and help everyone meet the legal requirements set out to keep everyone safe.
The first way to help everyone is by talking to your employers about any concerns you may have or questions regarding the health and safety in your workplace. By communicating it is possible to highlight new problems, prevent accidents and work together to ensure all is being monitored and maintain for the good of everyone.
It is important to be aware of what you must do to help with the health and safety in the place that you work. When you first start at the job, or are given a new position or role you should be given training. It is your duty to follow the training which is given to you and not introduce new methods which you may feel are more convenient. Your other duties include:
Your Employer Must Also Do Things for You
By working together it is possible to help prevent accidents and create a good environment to work in. Both employees and employers need to know their responsibilities and unite when it comes to preventing injury and poor health at work.

Hi All Friends,
I read all comments on Health and Safety Law and you.
Really I like it very much.
But I have a Question would you like to answer and explain it please:
Why we are demanding NEBOSH for Site Safety Officers? I think NIBOSH is for Supervision or Management.
Please explain it.

Hi Ashfaq..
Demanding NEBOSH for Site Safety Officers is a step in the right direction in addition, for Managers and Supervisors.
The general Certificate covers the main legal requirements for health and safety in the UK, identification and control of workplace hazards, and the practical application of this knowledge who require a basic knowledge and understanding of occupational safety and health.
And a demanding but rewarding experience that is designed to complement existing managerial skills.
is this something that you are concerned about? or purely a personal interest?
Days are gone when people used take this safety matter lightly, now you do the same and someone can bring on legal action against you.
