What is a Safety Program?

Effective Workplace Safety Programs and Policies empower
​employees to actively participate in their own safety.

A Legal Imperative
In Ontario, the OHSA sets out the legal framework for workplace safety, placing a clear responsibility on employers to provide a Workplace Safety Program for their employees.

​Failure to comply with OHSA regulations can result in hefty fines, legal repercussions, and damage to the company's reputation. 

Protecting People, Preserving Productivity​
Beyond legal obligations, Workplace Safety Programs safeguard the most valuable asset of any organization: its people.

By implementing comprehensive safety protocols, you can significantly reduce the risk of workplace accidents, injuries, and illnesses.

The Power of Workplace Policies

A workplace program typically consists of a collection of policies, procedures, guidelines, and practices designed to address specific aspects of workplace safety, health, and management.

​These policies collectively form a comprehensive framework that governs various aspects of employee conduct, operational procedures, hazard identification, risk management, emergency response, and regulatory compliance within the organization.

For example, a workplace safety program may include:

• Health and Safety Policy
• Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment Policy
• Emergency Response and Evacuation Policy
• Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Policy
• Incident Reporting and Investigation Policy
