Who is responsible for workplace safety? – Podcast

The 2^nd episode of the Cabbage Salad and Safety podcast is now available.

The theme of the podcast is “who is responsible for workplace safety?”. It is a simple question that can create complex answers, in practice.

This episode sometimes sounds like an interview rather than a conversation but as the question calls for a legal response more than a safety professional response, Siobhan Flores-Walsh provides some excellence guidance.

Occupational health and safety law provides pretty clear guidance on safety responsibility but there is often pushback on this as people don’t want to take on more responsibility than they have to. Responsibility also can become complex after an incident when responsibility is often equated with blame.
