Health and safety involves reducing the risks of
accident and ill health associated with work activities, whether they affect
employees, employers, the self-employed, visitors or the public. Accidents
and illnesses can result in permanent disability or death, as well as short
term incapacity for work. The supervisor is in an ideal and very responsible
position where employees can be influenced, monitored and trained, and managers
can be informed, persuaded, encouraged or pressured into providing for better
health and safety standards.
A supervisor has a legal and moral responsibility
to look after the health and safety of employees, but needs to have the
knowledge and skill to be able to do this effectively. Successful candidates
will be able to help their organisation whatever the size or activity
in improving the health and safety culture.
