HEALTH AND SAFETY POLICY AND RESPONSIBLITIES
THE INTERNAL RESPONSIBILITY SYSTEM

The Workplace Health and Safety Policy support every worker’s right to a safe and
healthy workplace.
The duty for creating and maintaining a safe and healthy workplace falls on every
person in the workplace; to the degree they have the authority and ability to do so.
Everyone has a personal and shared responsibility for working together co-operatively
to prevent injuries and occupational illnesses.
Because employers have the greatest degree of control over the workplace, they also
have the greatest degree of legal responsibility for safety and health. But this does not
relieve supervisors and workers from their duty to co-operate in controlling workplace
hazards and to take the necessary precautions to protect themselves and others from
hazards.
The Workplace Safety and Health policy also recognize that only workers who are
adequately informed and empowered can effectively fulfil their responsibilities.
The Workplace Safety and Health Act grant four important rights to workers:
1. Right to Know about workplace hazards, including how to identify hazards and
protect themselves from those hazards and about the rights afforded to workers under
the Act.
2. Right to Participate in decisions related to workplace safety and health, free of
reprisal for their participation. Participation, in part, is achieved through consultation
with the committee or representative.
3. Right to Refuse to do dangerous work.
4. Right to Protection from Discrimination protects these rights by prohibiting
employers from imposing discipline or other sanction on workers for fulfilling their
responsibilities or exercising their rights.
The goal of an internal responsibility system is to get people working together to
identify and control situations (hazards) that could cause harm. Its ultimate objective is
to ensure everyone integrates safety and health into their work.

DUE DILIGENCE
‘Due Diligence’ means everyone with responsibility for safety and health must take
every precaution reasonable in the circumstances to avoid a work related injury or
illness. This concept of “reasonable care” holds individuals accountable for their acts
(what they do) and omissions (what they fail to do). It goes beyond simple “regulatory
compliance.”
The term ‘REASONABLY PRACTICABLE’ used in Safety and Health Legislation

What is “reasonably practicable”, is determined by asking what a reasonable person, in
the same position and circumstance, would have done to prevent the incident. When
making that determination, three main factors need to be taken into account:
 Foresee Ability  Preventability and  Control
