Responsibility for health and safety in the workplace primarily lies with the employer. Employers must ensure the health, safety, and welfare of their employees and others who may be affected by their business operations. They are legally required to carry out risk assessments, implement safety procedures, provide necessary training and equipment, and maintain a safe work environment. Employers are the decision-makers who allocate resources and set safety policies. However, workplace health and safety is a shared responsibility. Employees also have duties to take care of their own health and safety and that of others. They must follow health and safety instructions, attend training, use protective equipment properly, report hazards, and cooperate with their employer to maintain safety standards. Additionally, other roles such as supervisors and workplace owners have specific responsibilities, and the workplace health and safety regulator (e.g., Health and Safety Executive in Great Britain, WorkSafeBC in British Columbia) oversees and supports compliance. In summary, while employers hold the primary responsibility for workplace health and safety, everyone in the workplace has a role in managing and maintaining safe conditions.
