Health & Safety
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.
