- Not all responsibility for health and safety rests with management. All employees on their part must contribute actively towards achieving a work environment, which is free of accidents and ill health.
- Each employee has a duty to co-operate with the employer on the carrying out of the employer’s statutory duties. Failure to do so could lead to disciplinary action and even prosecution under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974.
