Employees must take care of their own health and safety and that of others who may be affected by their actions. Our Workers: health and safety website shows how you can meet your responsibility to:
take reasonable care for your own health and safety and that of others who may be affected by what you do or do not do;
co-operate with your employer on health and safety;
correctly use work items provided by your employer, including personal protective equipment, in accordance with training or instructions; and
not interfere with or misuse anything provided for your health, safety or welfare.
