•  Question 5
• Employers must ensure that supervisors are
  competent to protect the safety of the workers
  they supervise.
• This statement is True
• You answered false 
• Your answer is incorrect. The material below will
  prepare you for the next time you challenge this
  section.
•  Your employer, your supervisor and you all have
  legal responsibilities to make sure the workplace
  is healthy and safe. Occupational health and
  safety legislation requires that every person in
  the workplace do their part to ensure a safe and
  healthy environment. Duties and responsibilities
  for the employer, supervisor, worker and others
  are contained within the law. Employers have
  overall responsibility for the safety of persons
  in the workplace. Their extensive legal duties
  and responsibilities under health and safety
  legislation reflect this overall responsibility.
  The duties include setting out policies and
  procedures, ensuring training, sharing
  information and making provisions for protective
  devices and ensuring theyre used or worn. They
  have to ensure they appoint competent
  supervisors, establish medical programs where
  required, form and maintain health and safety
  committees (if required in the jurisdiction),
  post certain pieces of information in the
  workplace and the list goes on and on. It should
  be clear that the employer has a direct
  responsibility to make sure you dont get hurt at
  work. Heres a sample of the employers
  responsibilities aimed at making your work safe
  Employers shall (among other responsibilities)
  
• Make sure that required health and safety
  training is given to you. Make sure that you
  have proper safety equipment and are trained to
  use it safely. Make sure your supervisors and
  you are aware of any known hazards in the work
  and that supervisors are prepared to ensure the
  work is carried out safely. Take every
  precaution reasonable in the circumstances to
  protect you.
• Supervisors are the people who have day-to-day
  responsibility to ensure the work gets done and
  that it gets done safely. In small companies, the
  employer may also be the supervisor. In larger
  organizations, the supervisor may have different
  titles, and there may be other layers of
  supervision that have titles such as team
  leader, group coordinator or similar terms. If
  those persons have charge of the workplace or
  authority over a worker, they are a supervisor.
  Heres a sample of supervisor responsibilities
  
• Make sure that you (the worker) follow the law
  and company safety rules. Make sure that you
  work safely and use any required safety
  equipment. Advise you of the existence of
  potential or actual danger to your health and
  safety that they are aware of. Take every
  precaution reasonable in the circumstances to
  protect you.
