How Can We Help You?
Each person has the right to be safe and the responsibility to act safely. By working safely, it is possible to prevent all injuries and accidents at a job site.
All employers are subject to Occupational Health & Safety, regardless of size or industry. As an employer, you are responsible for providing a safe workplace for all of your employees. As industry standards and hazards change, your safety program must adapt.
A good safety program includes
- Identification of hazards in the workplace
- Regular review to reduce or eliminate hazards that are detected
- Proper safety procedures and PPE to avoid harm from hazards
- A pre-job inspection report (Field Level Risk Assessment) or “tool box talk” where employees can understand the hazards in the job site each day
- Access to proper Personal Protective Equipment (fall arrest equipment, steel toed boots, goggles, reflective vest, gloves, etc.)
- Procedures for ensuring that workers who are working alone are safe
- Providing medical attention to injured workers
- An escalation process for when safety procedures are not followed
- A process for reporting near misses and incidents so that future accidents can be prevented
- Regular review of the safety program
