1. the worker

why?

Explanation:

1. For the employer:

The employer (who is in charge of everyone) has the most duties under OHSA because they are legally responsible for providing a safe workplace, including training, safety programs, and ensuring compliance with regulations. They must also provide proper equipment and maintain a hazard - free environment.

The supervisor has significant duties as they oversee workers directly. They must enforce safety rules, ensure workers follow procedures, and identify and address hazards in their work area. They also play a role in training and communicating safety information to workers.

The worker has duties too, like following safety procedures, using equipment properly, and reporting hazards. But compared to the employer (who has overall responsibility) and the supervisor (who oversees), the worker's duties are more about personal compliance and reporting, so they have fewer duties than the employer.

Answer:

The employer (who is in charge of everyone) has the most duties. Reason: Legally responsible for overall workplace safety, including training, compliance, equipment, and hazard - free environment.

2. For the supervisor:
