Develop a Health & Safety Policy
A Health & Safety Policy is your business’s commitment to protecting workers from physical and psychological hazards. By outlining responsibilities, compliance, and safety priorities, this policy sets the foundation for a safer workplace and should be reviewed, signed, and shared annually.
Know About Responsibilities
Everyone in a workplace – from senior executives to front-line workers – is responsible for maintaining a healthy and safe environment (it’s the law!). Employers, supervisors, and workers each have different roles to play.
How to Manage Psychological Health & Safety in Your Workplace
Prioritizing mental well-being leads to higher productivity, stronger engagement, improved morale, fewer conflicts, and better employee retention. You may already know this — and you might have been applying many of the principles outlined in WorkSafeBC’s Framework for Psychological Health & Safety without even realizing it. Follow along to build on your existing strengths, address areas for improvement, and take practical steps to foster a supportive, resilient workplace.
