Module Introduction

Everyone on the job is responsible for keeping the workplace safe, but employers and supervisors hold the most responsibility. In fact, there are legal consequences if safety regulations are not followed and a worker is injured. In this module, you will learn what hazards are and the three-step process for identifying and eliminating/minimizing safety hazards. You will also learn about your right to know (receive training), your right to participate (in health and safety activities) and your right to refuse (you may refuse to do a task that you think is unusually dangerous).
