Health & Safety
Develop Safe Work Procedures
High-risk or complex tasks in your business may require written safe work procedures 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 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)
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).
Orient, Train & Supervise Workers
Proper training ensures workers are competent, confident, and equipped to handle workplace hazards safely. From task-specific instruction to psychological health awareness, investing in training not only prevents injuries but also fosters a proactive safety culture.
Identify Hazards & Manage Risk
Identifying and controlling workplace hazards is key to preventing injuries and ensuring a safe environment. By assessing risks, implementing control measures, and continuously monitoring safety procedures, businesses can proactively reduce harm and protect workers' well-being.
