I definitely think that one of the company/organization's responsibility (although not required) to make sure that their employees are aware of all the hazards at work - what's the best way to do this? Give them the proper training from OSHA and WHMIS training. It is not really that difficult to locate for places to get them this kind of training because most of them are now available online.
