Legislative Compliance
Providing a healthy, safe and secure work environment is not just a concern for manufacturing facilities only. All organizations need to be aware of issues pertaining to health, safety and security of their employees, vendors, clients and customers.
Health and Safety
Solutions
Under the OHSA (Occupational Health and Safety Act), it assigns duties an employer is accountable for such as:
-
Taking all reasonable precautions to protect the health and safety of workers
-
Ensuring that equipment, materials and protective equipment are maintained in good condition;
-
Providing information, instruction and supervision to protect worker health and safety;
-
Co-operating with the JHSC (Joint Health and Safety Committee).
The MOL (Ministry of Labor) conducts regular on site visits to establishments without prior notice to conduct audits. Safety violations are very costly and if you are not proactive you can be faced with heavy fines and penalty from the ministry of labor and possibly shutting down your facility. In summary, its good business practice to ensure you are proactive and forward thinking in maintaining compliance with the OHSA.
