Consultation on Proposed Amendments to Minimum Levels of First Aid in the Workplace
First aid forms an integral part of a robust workplace health and safety program.
Working Alone
Workers who work alone or in isolation may be injured or at risk of violence when help is not readily available to them. B.C.’s Occupational Health and Safety Regulation requires employers to take steps to protect all workers and reduce the risks associated with late-night and isolated shifts.
Create & Support a Joint Health & Safety Committee
Joint health and safety committees aim to make workplaces safer and healthier. They also help ensure compliance with the Workers Compensation Act and the Occupational Health and Safety Regulation. A joint health and safety committee (JHSC) may be a legal requirement, but with a few upgrades it can become a powerful tool for maximizing workplace health and safety.
Orient, Train & Supervise Workers
The success of your occupational health and safety (OHS) program depends on the effectiveness of your training efforts.
Identify Hazards & Manage Risk
Many incidents are preventable, as long as you take a proactive approach to health and safety. By putting in place a system to identify hazards and manage risks, you can prevent workplace injuries and diseases.
Develop a Health & Safety Policy
A health and safety policy is a written statement of your aims as an employer. It also spells out your responsibilities, as well as those of supervisors and workers.
