Fact: Workplace injury reduction programs cut cost
Workplace Injury Reduction Programs are mandatory by law. Section 2.1.7.1 of Bill C-45 states; “Every one who undertakes, or has the authority, to direct how another person does work or performs a task is under a legal duty to take reasonable steps to prevent bodily harm to that person, or any other person, arising from that work or task."
Safety training is now mandated as part of the new OHSA legislation. Experienced Safety Program design from Cool Running will ensure your plant has taken the right steps.
Cool Running will document your Program to ensure you have consistently followed workplace safety program. Documentation is a critical part of compliance. Effective training can make the difference between employees buying in or turning off.
Your safety conscious employee will always be involved in fewer accidents which means less time off work, reduced WCB premiums, reduced temporary worker cost, reduced turnover and better morale.
“Safety is something that happens between your ears, not something you hold in your hands.”
