What employees can expect from employers

Employers have a number of duties under the Act to keep employees safe and healthy. These include:

  • identifying hazards that arise at work
  • eliminating those hazards, or if this isn’t possible, managing them to make sure they don’t hurt employees
  • providing employees with information to enable them to work safely
  • making sure that employees have the right knowledge, experience and supervision to work safely
  • giving employees the opportunity to have an input into health and safety either informally or through an employee participation system.
