WSIB Workwell 2009!!!

April 16, 2009 on 8:21 pm | In Announcements | Comments Off

Well if you haven’t received your letter from the Board advising that you have been selected for a workwell audit, you may have been spared this time around. The Board has recently selected a list of businesses, covering all sectors across Ontario, for their Workwell Core Health and Safety Audit and letters were sent out approximately March 31, 2009.

 

What does this process involve, if you have met their selection criteria?

An auditor has been assigned to your file and will contact you to set a date for the first phase of this evaluation process. On that date the auditor may conduct the initial audit at your workplace and subsequently a second audit after 6 months, should you fail the first. Or, they may consider starting you on a Risk Management Plan (RMP) should they discover that the Board’s statistics do not fairly reflect your commitment to improving health and safety at your workplace. Through your commitment to this RMP the auditor will continue to monitor your progress. You must complete selected elements of your health and safety program over an agreed time period. Follow-up reports are required to be completed and submitted to the auditor on a timely basis. The auditor will make at least one follow-up visit and if you have failed to meet your commitments, you will be subject to the full Workwell Audit, immediately. To read more about both the Workwell Audit and the RPM process follow the link on our ‘Home’ page to WSIB’s ‘Prevention’ page.

 

How can we help?

We have successfully developed an Occupational Health and Safety Management System to suit the needs of the WSIB Workwell Audit. This system of procedures along with our training will not only provide you with a passing grade on the audit but will also ensure you meet your ‘Due Diligence’ obligations as an employer in Ontario, thereby meeting or exceeding the needs of the Occupational Health and Safety Act.

If you have been selected for a Workwell Audit, we offer you a four (4) hour audit preparation consultation and it is absolutely FREE with NO OBLIGATION whatsoever!
