the unsafe act was picking up a 13 to 16 w by 8.5 ti 9.5 h wall with a hoist which are used at other plants and this plant to pick up a wall to be set and fastened to a mobile home floor ( this plant usually pulls push and then drag the wall to a rack ) then pick up with a hoist.

Anyone who does can be terminated. But having enough physical proof and witnesses to present it to a supervisory board or employer, that's another thing

The supervisor is responsible for the people under him. If it is reasonably likely that the supervisor was negligent, knew or passively allowed this unsafe act to take place or failed to communicate the dangers - he's responsible.
If the employee knowingly performed this risky task without the knowledge of his supervisor and it's reasonable to assume that the supervisor was not negligent in any way - then the ax falls on the employee.

if the person working the hoist is supposed to be watched while they work as a requirement to their job description then yes the supervisor can be fired but if the hoist operator only has to report to the boss with questions or problems and the super isn't required to watch as the hoist is being used then no

The supervisor can mitigate by pulling the employee out and offering either training or reassignment. The proper use of the equipment is the responsibility of the employee, but training and correction fall to the supervisor.
If you did nothing, I'd fire you.

The supervisor can be terminated. If not terminated, they can definitely get into trouble for it. Management is responsible for the acts of the laborers.

If the supervisor okayed this, or was supposed to be directly supervising every move, I'd say he's at fault. Otherwise not.

I think the other answers were good, but on the termination part of your question, it would depend upon your personnel ordinance and prior disciplines in your personnel file.
