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.
