11 /16/2018 Employee Safety Responsibilities <br /> Safety Meeting Topics ( Bilingual ) <br /> Employee Safety Responsibilities <br /> California employers are responsible for maintaining a safe work place and adopting an Injury and Illness Prevention Program <br /> (IIPP) to protect workers from job hazards. But employers are not the only ones responsible for safety on the job - California <br /> workers have responsibilities for maintaining a safe workplace as well . Do you know your safety responsibilities? <br /> Know and follow all of your employer's health and safety rules such as safe work practices and standard operating procedures . <br /> Be familiar with the Cal OSHA safety requirements that regulate your industry. These regulations and guidelines are designed <br /> to educate and protect you from hazards and injuries on the job . Know the emergency and evacuation procedures and the <br /> location of emergency equipment on your jobsite ; clear thinking and immediate action in an emergency can save lives. <br /> Attend all of the safety training that your employer offers. Training helps you identify job hazards and take the appropriate <br /> precautions to protect yourself and co-workers . Never operate equipment unless you have been properly trained . Read and <br /> understand the material safety data sheet ( MSDS) and know the hazards and safe work practices for all of the chemicals that <br /> you work with . If you have a question about equipment, a chemical, or a process, ask your supervisor - taking a chance at <br /> work can mean taking a chance with your life . <br /> You are responsible for the safety of your own actions while on the job . Conduct yourself professionally and with your mind on <br /> your own safety and the safety of others at all times; the workplace is no place for horseplay or lack of attention . Serve as a <br /> good role model to co-workers for safe work practices and behavior. Maintain your personal work area and common areas in a <br /> clean and orderly manner; good housekeeping means a safer workplace. Always wear the appropriate personal protective <br /> equipment ( PPE) required for your job tasks. <br /> Talk with your supervisor about safety. If you have a suggestion to make a process or equipment safer, speak up ! No one <br /> knows your job and tools better than you . Immediately warn co-workers and notify your supervisor of any malfunctioning <br /> equipment, hazardous conditions, and unsafe behavior in the workplace - someone's life may depend on it. All accidents and <br /> near-misses should also be reported to your supervisor because investigating these incidents can lead to a safer environment. <br /> If you have a job-related injury or illness, promptly report it to your employer and seek appropriate treatment. <br /> When you share the responsibility for safety in the workplace, everyone wins. <br /> The above evaluations and/or recommendations are for general guidance only and should not be relied upon for legal <br /> compliance purposes.
