Why does your business need a health and safety program?
According to the Workers Compensation Act and the Occupational Health and Safety Regulation in BC, it’s the employer’s responsibility to implement an occupational health and safety (OHS) program to prevent employee workplace injury and disease. All businesses in BC and every other province in Canada are required by law to have an occupational health and saftey program developed and implemented for each work site. OHS safety programs in British Columbia must meet certain safety regulations and standards. This ensures that the employer is exercising due diligence in taking steps to meet WorkSafeBC regulations and standards.
All large employers in BC must have a 'formal' health and safety program manual developed and implemented if you have either a workforce of 20 or more workers and at least one workplace where there is a moderate or high risk of injury and when you have a workforce of 50 or more workers. Small businesses or employers with fewer than 20 workers need a written health and safety program too. These OHS program manuals can be simpler. They are referred to as "informal" health and safety programs. Failure to do so could result in your company receiving fines, penalties, sanctions and/or stop worker orders by local government safety officers.
Health and safety program manuals are aimed at ensuring workers are protected, risks are minimized, and a healthy and safe workplace is maintained. All employers must establish some form of health and safety program at the workplace. The type of program you need depends on the number of workers you have and the risks associated with their work. Though every workplace and every occupational health and safety (OHS) program are different, there are some key elements common to all programs.

Would you like to find out if your current health and safety program is in compliance with the 2019 - 2020 WorkSafeBC health and safety regulations?
At least once every year, every employer must evaluate and review their health and safety program and discuss with their joint safety committee, safety representatives and/or workers ways to improve it. Under the workers compensation act, the employer must prepare and review at least annually a written occupational health and safety policy, and must develop and maintain a program to implement that policy. GG Health and Safety Consulting offers annual safety audits and safety auditing services which meets with this requirement. Employers should also look for any changes in the workplace that might affect health and safety, including any new hazards. As part of your OHS program review, every employer should make sure to continue to be compliant with the Occupational Health and Safety Regulation in BC. GG Health and Safety Consulting will thoroughly review your current health and safety program policies and procedures to ensure compliance with WorkSafeBC regulations. We can audit both your overall company (written safety program due diligence) and your physical location(s); and then provide you accurate findings, recommendations by a comprehensive written audit report to address the limitations in your current health and safety programs. |
