| Workplaces can be dangerous places,
which is why health and safety is of great importance. A poor health
and safety program affects your business and will put your staff
at risk and drive up compensation costs.
Nearly every working man and woman in Ontario comes
under the OHSA's jurisdiction (with some exceptions such as miners,
transportation workers, many public employees, and the self-employed).
Accidents have a human cost, and can affect morale.
Employees want to know that they are safe and that those around
them pose no danger.
But accidents also directly impact bottom line profits. The safest
firms are always among the most profitable - and that is no coincidence.
A good Health and Safety program also protects the
reputation of your business. Clients, customers and employees alike
will want to see evidence that your site is safe.
Reducing accidents in the workplace cuts the cost of;
downtime
legal expenses
insurance premiums
recruitment
costs
retraining
Employers who access our training services can avoid
being placed in a reactive mode which can bring about important
and unexpected expenses.
Stay safe and make your site safe - no matter what
you do or what size your business is.
