Where should workplaces begin in their journey to occupational health and safety compliance and prevention? Consider the following.

Employers and the supervisors they hire are legally responsible for among other things providing safe work, identifying, addressing and preventing potential job hazards and facilitating training for all workers to do their jobs safely. Quality training is a necessary first step not only for workers, but the supervisors employed to help safeguard them.

Under Ontario’s Occupational Health and Safety Act and Regulations, employers must ensure supervisors complete basic occupational health and safety awareness training in addition to knowledge and competency-based training specific to the workplace.
