SAFETY AND YOUR SUPERVISOR

Safety and Your Supervisor

 

Safety does not just happen. Remember the old saying, if something can go wrong, it will. We must work to make things happen right; that is, in a safe manner. But one person cannot do this alone - It takes the cooperation of everyone.

 

Your company has a moral, legal, and financial interest in your well-being. Supervisors should be receptive to your safety concerns. Have you ever brought a problem to your supervisor only to have it dismissed? It happens. This does not mean he or she isn’t interested, and you should drop the subject. You can’t afford to. You may be the one getting hurt. Let us look at ways you can use to make your supervisor share your safety concerns.

 

 

Again, supervisors are human. They can get buried in things that may need more immediate attention and/or they could just forget.

Supervisors - remember the employee who brings safety problems to your attention is just trying to do his job and help you with yours. Their concerns should never be dismissed without a review.
