What happens when employers assume safety is simply "common sense" or leave critical safety decisions in the hands of their employees?

In this episode, Kim McLagan and Monnette Samo explore one of the most important principles in workplace health and safety: an employer's duty to provide and maintain a safe workplace cannot be delegated.

Using a recent court decision as the backdrop, we'll discuss why relying on workers to make their own safety decisions can expose businesses to significant legal and financial consequences.

Join us as we examine the key lessons from this important case and discuss what every employer should understand about their ongoing responsibilities under workplace health and safety laws.
