Everyone’s participation is not only a right; it is fundamental in making the Fort Jackson Safety and Occupational Health management effective and efficient.

Everyone has the right/duty to:

• be consulted on arrangements for the organization of the risk assessment and for the appointment of those undertaking the task

• participate in the risk assessment

• alert their leadership regarding perceived risks

• report any changes in the workplace

• be informed of the risks to their safety and health and of the measures necessary to eliminate or reduce these risks

• be involved in the process of deciding on the preventive and protective measures to be put in place

• ask leadership to put in place appropriate measures and to submit proposals to minimize hazards or to remove the danger at source

• cooperate to help leadership in ensuring that the working environment is safe

• be trained/receive instructions on the measures to be put in place

• take care not to create a hazard for others

In addition, it is important representatives (unit safety officers) are trained so that they understand risk assessment and their role in controlling hazards.
