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.

The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
