When an employee accepts a job role there is an expectation that they will represent the company in a responsible manner, perform the job role to the required standard, be punctual or communicate with their manager if they are unwell or going to be late, as well as treat everyone respectfully.
An employer is primarily responsible for ensuring the health, safety and wellbeing of all employees, however staff have a duty of care towards their own health and safety, as well as anyone else who could be affected by their actions.
Employee cooperation is important, particularly when it comes to undergoing mandatory training, using equipment correctly and following any set procedures.
Employees are also required to report any injuries or potential risks in the workplace. This will help create a safety culture, especially if employees feel confident to raise any concerns.
