DOCUMENT DESCRIPTION
Many people do not realise that refusing or failing to observe company safety rules and safety procedures or instructions from their supervisor is, in fact, breaking the law. People don't appreciate that, as an employee, they have certain legal obligations with regard to their own safety and the safety of other people in their workplace.
A failure to recognise and meet these legal obligations can result in:
• injury or harm to yourself;
• injury or harm to other people; and
• you being prosecuted.
Occupational safety legislation operates in the same fashion as other aspects of the law. Ignorance of the law is no defence for committing an offence. For this reason it is important that you recognise and understand what your responsibilities are under the Duty of Care.

"One of the great discoveries that I have made for my business is the Flevy library of training materials.
As a Lean Transformation Expert, I am always making presentations to clients on a variety of topics: Training, Transformation, Total Productive Maintenance, Culture, Coaching, Tools, Leadership Behavior, etc. Flevy usually has just what I need to make my point. It is well worth the money to purchase these presentations. Sure, I have the knowledge and information to make my point. It is another thing to create a presentation that captures what I want to say. Flevy has saved me countless hours of preparation time that is much better spent with implementation that will actually save money for my clients." – Ed Kemmerling, Senior Lean Transformation Expert at PMG
