Why is Worker Safety Monitoring important?
Every company’s most valuable asset is their people. Implementing a thorough and effective health and safety program for your workplace is one of the best decisions your company can make – not only for the bottom line of the business, but most importantly for your employees. Although the ideology of these programs for many companies is based on fine and penalty avoidance, the core focus and foundation should ultimately be the safety and well-being of working employees.
In 2018, Canadian workers’ compensation boards across the country approved a staggering 904 claims involving worker fatalities. Although this statistic is astonishing, it provides a serious reminder of the consequences when neglecting to implement a meticulous health and safety program in the workplace. It is completely reasonable to state that accidents do happen, however, these serious incidences can ultimately be avoided.
Strict health and safety regulations have been implemented in Canada to protect workers from harm so they can safely return home at the end of their workday.
Several pitfalls accompany health and safety violations – hefty fines and penalties are only one of many. On April 1, 2018, the Ministry of Labour introduced over 280 new and increased fines that are immediately issued by MOL inspectors during site inspections.
Penalties for not complying with the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA) can include fines of up to $100,000 for an individual person and/or up to 12 months imprisonment.
A corporation convicted under the act may also face fines of up to $1,500,000. Another devastating downfall that companies face when dealing with a workplace accident is the negative media coverage tied to the incident. The power of social media allows news to spread like wildfire.
Health & Safety infractions can completely tarnish the reputation a company has built, and ultimately lead to major business loss.
The Positives of a Healthy & Safe Workplace:
Enforcing an occupational health and safety program does lead to a plethora of positives. A safe working environment produces happier employees. Premises that are maintained at a higher standard for safety are typically tidier and more orderly. From a business perspective, fewer worker compensation insurance claims result in lower insurance premiums. Companies will also face less downtime due to incidents, which will enhance their desirability to potential clients.
