WorkSafeBC is committed to the regular review of the requirements of the OHSR based on regulatory experience and changes in knowledge, technology, and work practices. The requirements are not an end in themselves, but are a foundation upon which to build an effective health and safety program. Compliance with the requirements provides the basis on which workers and employers, in cooperation, can solve workplace health and safety problems. The purpose of the OHSR is to promote occupational health and safety and to protect workers and other persons present at workplaces from work-related risks to their health, safety, and well-being. This includes most workplaces in BC, except mines and federally chartered workplaces such as banks, interprovincial and international transportation, telephone systems, and radio, television, and cable services. Many sections of the OHSR have associated guidelines and policies. The OHSR in BC contains legal requirements that must be met by all workplaces under the inspectional jurisdiction of WorkSafeBC. WHAT IS THE OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY REGULATION (OHSR)? We will also take the time to verbally go over our written report, step-by-step, with your team to ensure you fully understand the contents of the report and that you are comfortable in taking the next steps towards achieving safety excellence in your workplace.
We will then supply your organization with a detailed, but easy-to-read, report that will help you understand what steps you need to take to ensure you are in compliance with the OHSR & WCA (WorkSafeBC). With this compiled information we can then determine which areas of your business is either in compliance or non-compliance. Typically, we will start off by conducting a site safety inspection which will then follow up with a more detailed safety audit of your work site. However, we at Greystone Safety Services can definitely make this task a little easier for you.
So, to know if your in compliance with these regulations is no easy task. At times, these regulations can be hard to find and sometimes even difficult to understand. The Occupational Health & Safety Regulation and the Workers Compensation Act has thousands of written regulations and guidelines which, depending upon the industry you work in, employers must follow here in BC. IS MY BUSINESS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE WORKSAFEBC REGULATION?
