Leadership
The employer/manager/owner of all businesses in BC – regardless of their size – is responsible for the leadership of the safety and health programs. This includes the effectiveness and improvement of your health and safety program. It also means, as a leader, you must provide the safeguards to ensure safe conditions for your workers.
The responsibilities for health and safety in the workplace are a shared responsibility between own/operators, supervisors/managers, and workers.
