Workplace Safety laws apply to ALL employers. When an employee is injured at work employers are guilty until they can prove they are not.
Recent fines for serious incidents have exceeded $100,000
No insurance can be purchased for this kind of liability.
The ONLY insurance is an effective Safety Management System.
1 Life Workplace Safety and Health Ltd. specializes in Safety Management System (AKA Safety Program) design, implementation and improvement. We believe in assisting our clients to develop Safety Management Systems that operate independent of a "safety consultant", because only then is a true Internal Responsibility System created.
This Internal Responsibility System will not only have a greater impact on preventing workplace incidents, it will go a LONG way to protecting the business entity from Workplace Safety related liability.
1 Life has worked successfully with many organizations to prepare, achieve and maintain COR Certification. Several of our Safety Professionals are or have been external COR Auditors and have an excellent working knowledge of the requirements.
A Safety Management System (SMS) is a form of quality assurance where there is there is clear accountability for safety, health and other quality outcomes.
It is a formal documented system where operations are defined by written procedures and standardized practices. All parts are interconnected and affect each other. A flaw in one piece will impact all the other pieces, and therefore the system as a whole.
