Document Summary

Everyone is personally and directly responsible for health and safety as an intrinsic part of his or her jo. Work and ohs are not separate activities. Everyone is doing ohs 100% of the time. What a person does for ohs depends on his or her authority. Internal responsibility system: ers and irs it"s not the government"s job to directly make your workplace safe for you, within the irs it"s everyone as an individual it"s not the. Committee"s job or the ohs manager"s job to make your workplace safe for you. The employer is primarily responsible for ohs. In the legal version of the irs, the employer has the most duties. But the employer, usually a corporation, is a legal fiction. It doesn"t have knowledge, it doesn"t make decisions, and it doesn"t work. In the legal version of the irs, every individual has duties, which depend on the individual"s role/authority.
