Celebrating 10 Years 1998-2008

We are happy to announce that Busch Training is celebrating 10 years effective March 1, 2008. We really wonder where the years have gone! In January of 1998 Richard Busch decided to make a major change in his working career. After working 27 years as a Human Resources and Health and Safety Manager of a large manufacturing facility in Waterloo Ontario, he decided to become an independent consultant primarily in the area of health and safety. The rest is history and we wish to thank the many clients we have had the privilege to serve and work with over those ten years. We thank you for your continued support. Many things have changed over these years but one thing has remained consistent and that is our commitment to offer clients the very best service we can in training and consulting in all areas concerning health and safety in the workplace. We wish our clients much success and promise that we will continue to be there for you into the future. Our slogan continues to be “Safety Training at its Best”.  

Bogus Safety Posters

A recent news bulletin made by the MOL indicated that here have been a number of complaints made by employers to them regarding private health and safety service providers of workplace posters and workplace safety training. Apparently, these providers imply a connection with the ministry and are selling so-called “official” posters that they claim will suit legislated posting requirements. (http://www.labour.gov.on.ca/english/news/2007/07-100b.html)

If you are in doubt as to what postings are legally required in your workplace, it is a good rule of thumb to refer to the WSIB’s Workwell Audit template. Using the Workwell Audit you will ensure that you have all of the necessary posters to comply with your workplace specific legislative requirements. Posters, extracts and other materials can be purchased through your local government publication offices. At Busch Training, we strive to ensure that our corporate clients comply with their industry’s legislative requirements using consolidated versions of applicable legislation, therefore reducing unnecessary costs.

MOL Compliance Orders

The MOL inspectors are actively involved writing compliance orders when visiting clients. We have recently had a number of new clients contact us in a panic as they received an order to establish a Health and Safety Program to support their Policy within a very limited time frame. We were able to come to their aid and not only developed the program to suit their needs but also conducted the training required to convey this new information to their entire workforce. The MOL timeframe for compliance was met and the client could breathe a sigh of relief. Don’t get frustrated! Do what you do and know best, run your business and leave the health and safety consulting and training to us! Your Health and Safety provider!
