Health & Safety
Develop Safe Work Procedures
Written safe work procedures provide your workers with instructions on how to carry out specific tasks and how to protect themselves against known hazards.
Working Alone
Workers who work alone or in isolation may be injured or at risk of violence when help is not readily available to them. B.C.’s Occupational Health and Safety Regulation requires employers to take steps to protect all workers and reduce the risks associated with late-night and isolated shifts.
Create & Support a Joint Health & Safety Committee (JHSC)
Worker representation and involvement in workplace health and safety is critical to the strength and effectiveness of your overall Health & Safety Program. Employers can accomplish this by creating and supporting a Joint health & safety committee (JHSC) in workplaces with 20 or more employees while also meeting the regulatory requirement. Explore below for more information on JHSC and other worker health and safety representation.
Orient, Train & Supervise Workers
The success of your occupational health and safety (OHS) program depends on the effectiveness of your training efforts.
Identify Hazards & Manage Risk
Many incidents are preventable, as long as you take a proactive approach to health and safety. By putting in place a system to identify hazards and manage risks, you can prevent workplace injuries and diseases.
Develop a Health & Safety Policy
A health and safety policy is a written statement of your aims as an employer. It also spells out your responsibilities, as well as those of supervisors and workers.
