The role and duties of the employee under health, safety and welfare in a workplace.

An employee is a person who is hired to provide services to a company. In exchange for the work they do they receive compensation. Employees have duties that they must follow. Good safety management is essential for the employer and employee to work together.
An employee should talk to their employer if they have any questions that are related to safety, health and welfare. Every employee should ask their employer for the company's safety statement if they have not already received a copy of it. This is a plan on how to keep employees safe at work. An employee should always be alert and aware of their surroundings in case an accident was to occur. They should also look out for unusual behaviour from their work colleagues. If anything unusual does happen they should bring it to the attention of their employer. If an employee feels they are unsafe in the workplace and are unable to handle the problem, they should inform their employer. Accidents that occur in a workplace may happen due to people rushing their job, taking chances and cutting corners. An employee must think about what could happen if they are not careful and they must try to do everything they can to stop it from happening.
Employees must remember that the worker safety, health and welfare is not en employers full responsibility.
