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.

Working Alone

Workers who work alone or in isolation face increased risk if an emergency or violent incident occurs and help is not immediately available. To reduce these risks, the OHS Regulation requires employers to assess the hazards, implement safety procedures, and ensure regular check-ins, especially during isolated or late-night shifts.

Create & Support a Joint Health & Safety Committee (JHSC)

Creating and keeping up a healthy, safe workplace doesn’t (and shouldn’t!) fall to just one person. It’s a big job, one that benefits from a variety of skills, perspectives, and backgrounds. That’s why businesses have Joint Health and Safety Committees (JHSC).
