Question 3 of 5
3. Question
Supervisors can be held criminally accountable where their negligence directly contributes to a serious workplace injury or fatality.
Correct
Section 217.1 of the Canadian Criminal Code specifies that any person who directs, or has the authority to direct, how another person does their work or performs work-related tasks has a legal duty to take reasonable steps to prevent bodily harm to that person, or any other person, arising from that work or task. Although not often applied, some supervisors have been prosecuted under this section of the Criminal Code.

Question 5 of 5
5. Question
Once they know an employee has a valid driver’s licence and a clean driver’s abstract, a supervisor has satisfied their supervisory duties and can assign that employee the work-related driving they were hired to do.
Correct
Checking (and periodically re-checking) for a valid driver’s licence and clean abstract is a great start. However, Part 16.4 of the Occupational Health and Safety Regulation requires that a person must not operate a vehicle unless they have demonstrated to a qualified supervisor or instructor that they can competently operate that vehicle. Before a supervisor can allow an employee to undertake work-related driving, the supervisor needs a way to verify competency. Usually, the best way to do that is by periodically assessing each driver’s skills and behaviours, and providing necessary instruction and training to fill in any competency gaps.
