Four basic employee responsibilities We can
also summarize basic responsibilities for
employees into four general behaviors
1. Comply with the employer's safety policies and
rules. Remember, the employee is primarily
accountable to the employer, not Oregon OSHA for
safety performance.
2. Report injuries immediately. Employees should
report all injuries, even minor ones, to a
supervisor or some other employer representative.
3. Report hazards as soon as possible. Again,
employees have a responsibility to report any
hazards they see to a supervisor or other
management representative.
4. Warning employees about hazardous conditions
and behaviors is not only required by the law,
it's the right thing to do in every case.

Workplace safety matters to the workers who
stay clear of injuries, to the employers who
avoid loss, disruption and tragedy . . . And it
matters to the families who escape seeing a loved
one in pain, or losing that loved one
altogether. - Governor Kulongoski at the Oregon
GOSH Conference.
