PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY
Relevant sections on personal responsibility contained in the Health and Safety at Work Act are shown below, but what they are basically saying is that individuals must work in a manner which does not put themselves or anyone else in danger. They must comply with all safety requirements advised by their employer and they must not misuse or abuse any article supplied for safety purposes, for example protective clothing or fire extinguishers.
HASAWA Section 7 - General Duties of Employees at Work
It is your duty whilst at work:
• To take reasonable care for your health and safety and that of any persons who may be affected by your acts or omissions at work,
• You must also co-operate with your employer in health and safety matters.
Example: An employer has a responsibility to provide training to his employees; this is now being carried out with this and other programmes. It is therefore your duty to co-operate with your employer and attend these sessions.
HASAWA Section 8 - Duty not to Interfere with or Misuse Anything Provided
You must not intentionally or recklessly interfere with, or misuse, anything provided in the interests of health, safety or welfare.
Example: The fooling with and misuse of a fire extinguisher; or using a helmet to carry substances in. Helmets are for head protection only.
