You are expected to behave according to the organization’s norms and culture. Even the part time worker is expected to working well as part of a team or group. Team work is essential to a successful outcome in a group. Most employers appreciate those who can work well with others. A positive attitude toward co-workers, the workplace, and the tasks of the job is one of the most important aspects a worker should possess. As an employee, you also expected to have a clean and suitable appearance, considering to the job you do.

WORK ETHICS Work ethic is a belief that hard work and diligence have a moral benefit and an inherent ability, virtue or value to strengthen character and individual abilities.[ It is a set of values centered on importance of work and manifested by determination or desire to work hard. Social ingrainment of this value is considered to enhance character through hard work that is respective to an individual's field of work. 2. SAFETY IN THE WORKPLACE Occupational Safety and Health (OSH), also commonly referred to as occupational health and safety (OHS), occupational health, or occupational safety, is a multidisciplinary field concerned with the safety, health, and welfare of people at occupation. These terms also refer to the goals of this field, so their use in the sense of this article was originally an abbreviation of occupational safety and health program/department etc. The goal of an occupational safety and health program is to foster a safe and healthy occupational environment. OSH also protects all the general public who may be affected by the occupational environment. In common-law jurisdictions, employers have a common law duty to take reasonable care of the safety of their employees. Statute law may, in addition, impose other general duties, introduce specific duties, and create government bodies with powers to regulate occupational safety issues: details of this vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. 9|Page GSCNSSAT – WORK IMMERSION LEARNER’S GUIDE 3.
