The Key role of Supervision in Safety Making sure Employees are Skilled, capable and Knowledgeable in How to do Work safely is The Cornerstone of Workplace safety-and All of that Rests on the Shoulders of the Supervisor.
This week, Kim McLagan and Monnette Samo will be presenting on The Key Role of Supervision in Safety.
A recent NSW Industrial Court case serves as a timely reminder of the importance of effective supervision in the workplace. Following a serious incident involving a worker who suffered life-changing burns, the Court found there had been multiple safety failures, including a total failure of supervision.
The case highlights that supervisors play a critical role in ensuring safe work procedures are followed, workers are properly trained and equipped, and hazards are actively managed.
