Safety Responsibilities for Supervisors

The first line supervisor is an extremely important person in the safety management process. This process includes OSHA compliance and control of hazardous conditions and unsafe work practices. Today, supervisors need to be aware of all the safety regulations that apply to manufacturing environments and must be able to communicate, apply and enforce those regulations effectively.
