Co-operation duties for workers, managers and supervisors
Workers, along with all others involved in the life of a project, have duties to co-operate and to co-ordinate with others. The term ‘worker’ includes managers and supervisors.
Workers need to be involved as soon as possible and should:
Give feedback to their employer via the agreed consultation method.
Provide input on risk assessments and developing a method statement.
Work to the agreed method statement or approach their employer to discuss implementing any change or improvement.
Use welfare facilities with respect.
Keep tools and PPE in good condition.
Be vigilant for hazards and risks and keep management and supervisors informed.
Be aware of arrangements and actions to take if a dangerous situation arises.
