new HEALTH & SAFETY PROGRAM
​MANUAL development

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.
​
​

BRITISH COLUMBIA, BC & CANADA WIDE

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.

Site specific safety plans

GG Health and Safety Consulting can develop your business a site-specific safety management plan that provides a complete and comprehensive document comprised of all the elements that make up the requirements needed to implement and control an effective safety management plan for new and existing projects.

​Many large employers in BC require smaller contractors / sub-contractors to have site specific safety plans developed for particular work site projects.

As your scope of work will ultimately dictate the particular elements and requirement of the program, each case is assessed on an individual company basis with emphasis on “Site Specific” project requirements such as; pre-project documentation, project size, location, sub-contractors requirements, responsibilities etc.

WORKSAFEBC COMPLIANCE

​Employers who commit health and safety violations may receive administrative penalties which are monetary fines from WorkSafeBC. WorkSafeBC  may impose penalties, sanctions or stop work orders on employers that do one or more of the following:
​
​
FAIL TO TAKE SUFFICIENT PRECAUTIONS TO PREVENT WORK-RELATED INJURY OR ILLNESS;

DO NOT COMPLY WITH THE OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY (OHS) REGULATION,
