Duty of Care – a legal obligation imposed on employees requiring individuals
to ensure their own safety and health at work AND to ensure their actions or
inactions do not place others’ safety or health at risk.
You are responsible both for the quality of your work and those around you
and are obliged to remove or report any unsafe conditions observed in the
workplace.
If you do not and an incident occurs you can be summoned to court and
potentially charged with negligence.

Accountability - ownership of results and a personal willingness after
the fact to answer for the results of behaviour and actions regardless
of the outcome (positive or negative)
Examples
• having effective conversations with people to achieve mutual understanding
and establishing clear commitments to achieve results desired
• taking the initiative to overcome obstacles and plan work that prevents and
mitigates risk effectively
• acting immediately to correct unsafe acts and/or conditions when
recognized and making effective use of lessons learned to improve
performance
• working as a productive and dependable team member and having a good
attitude
