The greatest responsibility for safety in the workplace falls on the employer, but under Ontario’s Occupational Health and Safety Act, supervisors and workers share that responsibility.

The September issue of Safety in Mind, the UWindsor health and safety newsletter, outlines the concept of the Internal Responsibility System and the role of each stakeholder group in preventing injury.

Safety in Mind is distributed online but formatted for printing and posting in work areas and on bulletin boards. Read the entire newsletter on the health and safety Web site.
