Under the Occupational and Safety Act what are one of the duties and obligations security guard must not follow?

Must report missing or defective equipment or protective safety devices
Must report workplace hazards to the employer or supervisor
Must not report any mislabeled or unlabeled containers at their sole discretion
Must use and/or wear the equipment protective devices or clothing the employer requires

The correct answer is: Must not report any mislabeled or unlabeled containers at their sole discretion

The Occupational Health and Safety Act mandates employees, including security guards, to report all potential risks and hazards in the workplace to their employer or supervisor. This includes reporting any unlabeled or mislabeled containers. It is not up to a security guard's discretion to decide whether they should report these potential hazards. Therefore, the assertion that a security guard must not report any mislabeled or unlabeled containers at their sole discretion is incorrect according to the Occupational Health and Safety Act. The act is designed to prevent workplace accidents and illnesses, which is why it has a rule that requires these potential hazards to be reported. This reduces the chance of someone handling potentially harmful substances without understanding the potential risks.
