Safety Tip of the Month

Supervisor Responsibilities

Supervisors fill an important role in every workplace. Employers rely on them to mentor, monitor and help motivate workers to uphold adopted safety standards.  As a supervisor, it is your job to ensure that the workers you supervise understand the organization’s health and safety expectations and live up to them.


✔Lead by example by demonstrating a positive attitude toward health, safety, and good related habits. Make safety awareness part of the job.


✔Show up on site wearing the personal protective equipment you want your workers to wear.


✔Keep your eyes and ears out for potential hazards, and address these with the workers. Workers who move to another area or begin a new job must be made aware of any safety and health risks through new orientation.


✔Assist in incident investigations. Supervisors are often most knowledgeable about processes in their department.


✔Enforce safety rules/procedures/practices. Failure to enforce will result in unsafe working conditions and potential workplace incidents which may result in the supervisor being held legally responsible.


✔Conduct ‘Safety Talks’ with staff regularly. This serves as refresher training and reminds workers of potential safety and health risks in the workplace.


✔Coach new workers on the importance of safety. Creating an environment where they can approach you when they need clarification on a task or job can reduce the risk of a serious incident.
