Information, Training, and Supervision

As an employer, you must ensure that employees have the necessary information, training, and supervision to perform their work safely. This includes:

• an appropriate understanding of overall work safety procedures;
• knowledge of the safe use of workplace tools and equipment;
• awareness of known or foreseeable workplace hazards; and
• (whenever possible) training sessions should include documentation.

You must also ensure that health and safety committees/representatives understand their duties with respect to:

• maintaining regular meetings (this applies to committees only);
• conducting monthly inspections; and
• participating in accident investigations and job hazard analyses.

In addition, you must ensure that managers and supervisors understand their duties related to the internal complaint resolution process, refusals to work, and accident investigations and reporting.
