Workplace Audits/Consulting A proactive management strategy. Rather than waiting for the Ministry of Labour or WSIB to send an auditor and face potential financial penalties or work stoppage, our assessors will perform a walkthrough of your facility to determine your needs before inspections are imminent. Policy and Procedure Development We work along side your corporate JHSC to create and implement effective H&S policies that comply with Ontario Health and Safety Legislation. When requested, we will also review your existing privacy and confidentiality procedures to determine their compliance with PIPEDA Legislation as they pertain to disability management. Training and Educational Workshops In house training for staff and management is available in the areas of general health and safety, WSIB issues, and current Ontario Health and Safety Legislation including mandated employee and employer responsibilities, and cost containment strategies. First Aid and CPR Certification Includes basic and advance CPR courses, cardiac arrest management, and first aid training. Early and Safe Return to Work Programs In consultation with your existing Health and Safety personnel and management, establish a written policy for return to work (from both occupational and non-occupational injuries) including program responsibility, creating and maintaining a system of follow-up, and evaluation of program effectiveness. Ergonomic Evaluations and Modifications Once workplace ergonomics have been assessed, and needs identified, recommendations for adaptive equipment and devices may be made. In addition, our evaluators may suggest specific modification in the employment tasks, manufacturing strategy, or other ergonomic changes to facilitate a healthy and safe workplace. Wellness Programs Managing health-care costs is one of four reasons wellness programs make economic sense. In addition to reducing demand for medical services, wellness programs provide economic benefit by reducing absenteeism, reducing on-the-job injuries and workers' compensation costs, and reducing disability-management costs. Absentee Management This type of evaluation is useful to answer questions regarding employability, earning capacity, and alternative employment options. Presentee Management There are circumstances that require a review of the current productivity of staff already in place. By addressing similar issues as for absentees (social issues, job fit, etc), workplace output and productivity has been shown to improve dramatically with little capital outlay. WHMIS Training This training includes education about labeling, MSDS’s, and identifiers, and will address the content of the label and MSDS, as well as the purpose, significance, location and modes of identification (colours, numbers, abbreviations). Training in work specific procedures such as storage, handling, use, disposal, emergencies, and what to do in unusual situations such as fugitive emissions would also be included. |
