6.4(4.2) Manage any health and safety risks within own capability and responsibility
If given a task that you are responsible for, anything that may cause a hazard is also your responsibility. 
For example, at my company one of my responsibilities is kitchen maintenance. This includes buying the basics (milk, bread) and also ensuring that all the food kept in the fridge is still in date. 
This ensures that everyone’s food that is stored in there is kept clean and healthy. 

However, if I fail to complete this task, it causes a health risk to my colleagues if unhealthy bacteria contaminates their food. These are risks that are within my capability and completely my responsibility. 

Any possible hazard risks big or small should be notified to the employer. Whether it’s a broken fire alarm or a wire sticking out from under a desk, if the employer knows this, they will be able to look out for this in the future, and take serious action if they feel it is needed. 
As an employee it is my responsibility to let my employer know if there is a safety hazard in the office. 

If I do come across a health or safety hazard, that I feel needs to be dealt with there and then (as long as it is in my capability of doing so), for example, a wire on the floor that could cause someone to fall over or something that may fall off a desk, it is my responsibility as someone who uses the office to work, to take action. 
By doing so I am ensuring my fellow colleagues safety, and I am able to notify my employer after and let them know how I handled the situation.
