Ensuing a worker under their supervision works in a way that follows the procedures and measures set out in OHS laws. Ensuring none of the workers under their supervision are subject to or participate in harassment or violence. A supervisor must also: advise workers of health and safety issues that come up on the work site report to the employer any concerns about unsafe or harmful conditions on the work site, and cooperate with anyone exercising a duty imposed by OHS laws.
