health & SAFETY PROGRAMS
​(iNDUSTRY & SITE SPECIFIC)

Our professional and certified Health and Safety Consultants are able to develop your small or large business a complete written occupational health and safety program specific to your companies operations, specific to your industry and which will meet with all WorkSafeBC legislative requirements.  ​

As per legislation in BC, all employers must have a 'formal' occupational health and safety program 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 must also have a simpler informal occupational health and safety program in place. 
​
At least once every year, every employer should review their health and safety program and discuss with their workers ways to improve it. GG Health and Safety Consulting offers annual 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.

ALL BUSINESSES IN B.C. ARE REQUIRED BY LAW TO HAVE A WRITTEN OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY PROGRAM IN PLACE. 

​FAILURE TO DO SO COULD RESULT IN YOUR COMPANY RECEIVING FINES, PENALTIES, SANCTIONS OR STOP WORK ORDERS.

WORKSAFEBC COMPLIANCE

A WorkSafeBC occupational safety or hygiene officer may visit your worksite to conduct an inspection. Employers cannot obstruct an officer from carrying out their duties.  The officer will leave (or email) an inspection report, which is an official record of the visit.

​​An inspection report details findings of a worksite visit by a WorkSafeBC officer.
​
​GG Health and Safety Consulting provides employers in BC with professional OHS services to ensure compliance with the Occupational Health and Safety Regulation & Workers Compensation Act Legislation in British Columbia (WorkSafeBC).  We will also work closely with Occupational Safety & Hygiene Officers, to ensure compliance if your company has been issued any inspection reports or written orders. 

​Employers who commit health and safety violations may receive administrative penalties which are monetary fines from WorkSafeBC.
WorkSafeBC  may impose penalties, sanctions or stop wor orders on employers that do one or more of the following:

FAIL TO TAKE SUFFICIENT PRECAUTIONS TO PREVENT WORK-RELATED INJURY OR ILLNESS;
