EPI’s safety and statutory requirements training emphasizes thatsafety is a shared responsibilityacross the entire data center organization. While roles such as the safety manager and facilities manager provide leadership, guidance, oversight, audits, and enforcement of safety procedures, they alone cannot ensure a safe workplace. Every individual working in or around the data center—whether employees, contractors, vendors, or visitors—has the responsibility to follow safety procedures, report hazards, use required protective equipment, and stop unsafe activities.
This collective responsibility approach ensures that risks are recognized early, unsafe conditions are not ignored, and safety culture is embedded throughout daily operations. The safety manager establishes policies, training, audits, and compliance frameworks; the facilities manager ensures operational processes support safety; the managing director endorses governance and resources. However,frontline workers are the most exposed to hazards, making their behavior critical.
Option C is correct because EPI emphasizes that safety cannot be delegated solely to one role; it must be embraced byall staff, ensuring a consistent, safe working environment. Data centers operate high-voltage systems, heavy equipment, and complex mechanical infrastructure, making shared vigilance essential for preventing incidents and ensuring regulatory compliance.
