Workers must:
- take reasonable care for their own psychological and physical health and safety
- take reasonable care not to adversely affect the health and safety of other persons
- comply with reasonable health and safety instructions, as far as they are reasonably able, and
- co operate with reasonable health and safety policies or procedures.
For example, workers must follow any notified workplace policies setting standards for appropriate behaviour aimed at preventing bullying and harassment.
Other persons
Other persons at the workplace, like visitors, must:
- take reasonable care for their own health and safety
- take reasonable care not to adversely affect other people’s health and safety, and
- comply with reasonable health and safety instructions, as far as they are reasonably able.
For example, a customer in a retail store must not behave violently, or abuse or harass staff.
