Which statement best describes a supervisor's responsibilities in AFOSH?

• A. Schedule safety meetings monthly
• B. Understand / Enforce safety and health standards. Recognize potential mishap factors in the workplace and provide PPE
• C. Write company-wide safety policies
• D. Maintain all PPE inventory and train every worker

Answer: (B)

Supervisors in AFOSH are responsible for understanding and enforcing safety and health standards, and they must be able to recognize potential mishap factors in the workplace and ensure appropriate PPE is provided and used. This combination shows how a supervisor translates safety rules into real‑world protection: knowing the standards, spotting hazards that could lead to a mishap, and making sure the right protective equipment is available for workers.

Scheduling safety meetings is useful, but it doesn’t fully define the supervisor’s role; writing company-wide safety policies is typically handled at higher levels of management or by the safety office; and maintaining all PPE inventory and training every worker goes beyond a supervisor’s typical duties, which focus on applying standards and addressing hazards in daily work.
