What is the primary responsibility of workers after the implementation of OEH risk controls?

The primary responsibility of workers after the implementation of Occupational Environmental Health (OEH) risk controls is to strictly adhere to the controls in the work area. This adherence is crucial because the effectiveness of any implemented risk control measures relies heavily on consistent and proper usage by all employees. By following the established controls diligently, workers contribute to maintaining a safety culture and ensure that the risk mitigation strategies put into place function as intended to protect their health and safety.

Moreover, while monitoring the effectiveness of the controls, reporting failures, and proposing new controls are also important responsibilities, they typically fall under the purview of supervisors or safety officers rather than being the primary expectation of the workers themselves. The immediate action of adhering to the controls is essential for preventing incidents and maintaining a safe working environment.
