Answer to Question 1

From a legal point of view, an employee's obligations regarding safety rules can be summarized as follows:
 Employers must have rules that ensure a safe and healthy workplace.
 Employers must ensure that all employees know about the rules.
 Employers must ensure that safety rules are enforced objectively and consistently.

Answer to Question 2

Companies gain the following three advantages from making signing on the dotted line part of their program to promote safety:
1 . By their signatures, employees make a personal commitment.
2 . By their signatures, employees promise to interact positively with fellow workers when they see them ignoring safety precautions.
3 . By their signatures, employees give fellow workers permission to correct them when they ignore safety precautions.
