Hazards

  • I have been appointed as the safety officer in the work place, a situation has arisen in regards to work place bullying. I am yet to undergo the training for this position. What is requested/expected of me at this stage bearing in mind I have not been trained as yet?. What is my position with my fellow workers?. Where do I stand in regards to what can be discussed openly, stop work meetings, counter complaints regarding possible mismanagement of the work place. Thank you Debbie.

  • I have just recently started an office job. Most of the people in my office smoke (including the Managing Director), they smoke in the office with the window open, but this does not provide enough ventilation. Is this illegal? I am afraid to speak up as I am still on my 3 month probationary period and am afraid of being labelled a trouble maker. I love the job, and do not want to leave so what should I do?
