Safety And Health Within The Workplace
Safety in the workplace is important. This is why in Ontario we have two statues of relevance. The Occupational Health and Safety Act, is designed to ensure a safe and healthy workplace and to prevent work related accidents including disease.
The Workplace Safety and Insurance Act, is a compensation system that also provides for rehabilitation of workers who have been injured or who have succumbed to a disease related to the workplace.
These current laws have strict requirements that employers must satisfy. If they don`t they can be found to be in non-compliance.
Safety and health within the workplace should always be a top priority largely because of the increased numbers of on the job accidents but to also avoid any potential claims.
