Investigate Incidents
Workplace incidents happen, and the key is responding effectively to prevent future occurrences. By conducting thorough investigations, identifying root causes, and taking corrective actions, employers can create a safer work environment while meeting WorkSafeBC reporting requirements.

Inspect Your Workplace
Regular workplace inspections help identify and address physical and psychological hazards before they lead to incidents. By using checklists, engaging workers, and focusing on key risk areas, you can create a safer, healthier work environment.

Hold Safety Meetings
Regular safety meetings help keep your team informed about health and safety issues while fostering a culture of shared responsibility. By integrating safety discussions into department, management, and company-wide meetings, you can address concerns, track progress, and promote both physical and psychological well-being in the workplace.

Develop Safe Work Procedures
High-risk or complex tasks in your business may require written Safe Work Procedures (SWP) to prevent workplace injuries. By consulting with your safety committee and workers, you can determine which tasks need documentation and ensure procedures are clear, concise, and effective in minimizing risks.
