Would you like to find out if your current health and safety program is in compliance with the WorkSafeBC health and safety regulations?
At least once every year, every employer must audit, 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. Part of our health and safety consulting service is our safety program auditing process which is an effective tool to evaluate your current health and safety program. Problem areas are identified and solutions are suggested in the following areas: - provincial and federal regulatory requirements, - management commitment, - employee involvement and accountability, - work site job hazard analysis, - record keeping (due diligence), - safety training, and - hazard recognition and control. 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. |
Does my safety manual template need to be updated every year?
No. Your health and safety manual will only need to be updated if there has been a major ohs regulation change in BC - for a particular topic. Regulation changes do not happen as often as you may think. You may not see any major regulation changes for many-many years (10+ years). However, if for any reason there is a major regulation change in your province - and one of your manual policies will require an edit - our team will email you many months ahead to give you a heads up! We will send you the new regulation requirements and editing your manual will only take a few minutes.
What happens to my safety manual in 2028? Will I need to repurchase a new manual?
No. There are no recurring fees or expiration dates. You are purchasing an unlocked, fully customizable Microsoft Word (.docx) file for your company. You can modify dates, tweak safety programs, and update policies internally whenever needed without repurchasing.
Why buy a professionally developed safety manual instead of trying to create one myself?
Writing safety policies is only one part of developing a proper workplace safety program. Knowing which policies, procedures and forms should be included, how they should be structured, and whether important requirements have been overlooked requires a thorough understanding of provincial occupational health and safety legislation and regulatory requirements.
Our safety manual templates are professionally developed by designated and qualified Occupational Health & Safety Consultants and Advisors with more than 30 years of knowledge and experience in provincial OHS legislation, regulatory compliance and workplace safety requirements across British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Quebec, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island. A safety manual is not simply paperwork that sits on a shelf. It documents the policies, responsibilities and procedures your company has established to manage workplace health and safety and meet applicable provincial OHS requirements. The contents of that document can become particularly important when something goes wrong.
Following a serious workplace incident, your safety program may be examined by regulatory officers, investigators, insurers, legal professionals and other parties. It may also be reviewed by clients, contractors and prime contractors during contractor qualification, prequalification, bidding or project approval processes. Our templates provide the essential policies, procedures and supporting forms employers need to establish a professionally structured safety program. Starting with documentation developed by experienced OHS professionals provides a much stronger compliance foundation than trying to research, write and assemble such an important document from scratch.
When your safety program is reviewed, investigated or relied upon, the quality and completeness of your documentation matters.
Are your health and safety manual templates up to date with current worksafebc regulations?
Yes. All our current health and safety plan templates have been updated to meet with current worksafebc occupational health and safety regulations.
What is the difference between General Industry Template I, General Industry Template II and the Construction Industry Template?
Template I is more for small businesses, in any industry except for construction, who are looking to get a basic foundation in place and then build upon this foundation as their company grows. Remember, it is better to have something in place rather than nothing when it comes to OHS LAW in Canada.
Template II is more for small, mid-size and large businesses and is much more elaborate than the Template I program, and can be used for any industry except for construction
The Construction Industry Template is developed for small, mid-size and large businesses servicing the construction industry.
What is the difference between the construction safety manual template and the site specific safety plan template?
Our Construction Industry Template C is specifically designed for either small to large construction based or related businesses in BC for mininimum business worksafebc compliance in your province. Our site specific safety plan template has been designed for construction and contractors to meet with prime contractor site safety requirements. Many large employers in BC (known as Prime Contractors) require smaller contractors / sub-contractors to have site specific safety manuals 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, hospital & medical clinic routes, sub-contractors requirements, responsibilities etc.
Are your affordable templates you sell off your website compliant for COR Avetta or ISN audits?
No. The affordable templates we provide on our website are for small business worksafebc regulation compliance (so you don't get fined from worksafebc by not having a program in place for your employees) and for small business contractors looking to obtain contract bids with prime contractors. These templates are an excellent start for any small business looking for worksafebc compliance and for your application process during contract bids.
