Health & Safety Training

At HR Performance & Results we offer a variety of customized health and safety training programs. As an employer, you have a due diligence requirement under the Occupational Health & Safety Act to take every reasonable precaution to ensure the safety of your employees. These programs will assist you with these due diligence requirements.

Bill 168 & Workplace Violence Risk Assessment Training

The Ontario legislature has passed Bill 168 an act to amend the Occupational Health & Safety Act. Bill 168 reached Royal Assent on December 15th, 2009. Employers were required to comply by June 15th, 2010.

The requirements for compliance include the following:

  • assess the risk of workplace violence and take reasonable precautions to protect workers from possible domestic violence in the workplace;
  • develop and communicate workplace violence and harassment policies and programs to workers;
  • alert workers of the risk of workplace violence from persons with a history of violent behaviour;
  • train all employees, managers, and supervisors on the policies and programs

WHMIS

Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System, or WHMIS, is designed to teach workers that work with or near hazardous materials how to:

  • Identify hazards
  • Know the hazards of the materials they work with
  • Know how to protect themselves from accidents and illness

WHMIS is a Canada-wide system which was created by business, labour and government so that people who work with hazardous materials on the job have the information to protect their health and safety. Everyone who is exposed or likely to be exposed to hazardous materials in the workplace is required by law to receive WHMIS training.
