Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The shared responsibility model assumes that both the employees and the employer must cooperate to ensure safety. It is not solely the responsibility of the employer or the employees, but rather a joint effort. The SaFE program, which encourages peer-to-peer safety, aligns with this model by emphasizing the importance of employees looking out for each other and providing feedback.
