According to the Workers Compensation Act and the Occupational Health and Safety Regulation in BC, it’s the employer’s responsibility to develop and implement an occupational health and safety (OHS) program to prevent employee workplace injury and disease. OHS safety programs in British Columbia must meet certain safety regulations standards. The employer must exercise due diligence in taking steps to meet those standards.
Any employers health and safety program manual is the foundation and touchstone of a successful health and safety program. It is an essential communication tool for both management and staff alike, providing detailed policies, procedures and instructions on safety topics that will ensure compliance to existing BC regulatory and industry safety standards. All small employers must have an 'informal' health and safety program developed and implemented if you have a workforce of less than 20 employees. OHS program manuals can provide a number of benefits. For example, OHS programs enable an employer to: - comply with provincial regulatory requirements, - control its occupational health and safety risks, - improve health and safety performance, - communicate its health and safety commitments and policies to staff, and - provide a framework for attaining its health and safety goals and objectives. Further, OHS programs assist with implementation by delineating roles, responsibilities, and accountability for tasks, including checking and corrective action as the program evolves. A properly implemented OHS program can be expected to reduce injuries and the associated costs of disability and lost production hours. GG Health and Safety Consulting's experienced, professional and certified Health and Safety Consultants are able to develop your small business with a complete informal written occupational health and safety program manual: - site specific to your company's operations, - specific to your industry and - which will meet with all WorkSafeBC regulation and legislative requirements. |
