Supervisor Responsibilities

Employers and supervisors are responsible for the safety of their workers.

They have legal obligations to immediately report serious injuries and workplace accidents, and to file an Employer's Report of Injury as soon as they learn a worker has had a work-related injury or illness. 

Supervisors must ensure that all workers:

• are instructed how to do jobs safely;
• perform their jobs and use equipment safely;
• are informed about workplace danger; and
• are removed from the workplace if they are intoxicated or impaired.
