COR Health and Safety Program Toolkit
An effective occupational health and safety (OHS) program encompasses effective management leadership, a firm commitment to the program by all involved and a willingness to continually improve the workplace safety culture.
Offer Employee Benefits to Stay Competitive in Labour Market
BC’s tourism businesses will experience incredible growth in the next decade. However, industry-wide staffing shortages also loom ahead, and employers will need to work hard to lure top prospects into the field. Attracting quality workers from other industries means that you’re now competing for job candidates not just with your closest rival, but also with employers from other sectors.
How to Engage Your Hire Before They Start
In the HR and management world, we often discuss employee engagement — how to improve it, the detriments of low employee engagement levels and the difference an engaged workforce can have on a business’ bottom line.
Provide First Aid
As an employer, you must provide the necessary equipment, supplies, facilities, first aid attendant(s) and services in order to treat injured workers and ensure they are transported to a medical centre. Part 3 of the Occupational Health and Safety Regulation sets out the first aid requirements for B.C. workplaces.
Know About Responsibilities
Under the law, everyone in the workplace — from employers to front-line workers — has responsibilities for health and safety.
Know How Your Employees Learn
None of us learn the same way. Some of us prefer learning from a textbook. Others enjoy the hands-on approach. No matter what, we all respond differently to learning.
Investigate Incidents
If there is an incident in your workplace in which a worker is injured or could have been seriously injured (i.e., a near miss), both you and WorkSafeBC have specific responsibilities.
Workplace Inspection Checklist
This customizable template is used to conduct general workplace inspections. Regulation dictates that workplace inspections need to occur “regularly” and must be documented. Inspections should be reviewed by the joint health and safety committee during meetings. Hazards identified in the inspection can be fixed by assigning tasks and setting reasonable deadlines for completion.
