There are many benefits to having EnSafe develop an
effective workplace health and safety policy and program. These include the
following:
 |
A well-defined health and safety policy,
backed by a sound program, and the necessary support (i.e., financial
and other resources), will provide the means to establish commitment to
achieving health and safety objectives throughout your entire management
structure. |
 |
A workplace health and safety program
will ensure that your health and safety objectives are integrated at
every level of the company. In this way, your health and safety
policy/program can function in the same way as your other policies
(e.g., production, quality, or finance). |
 |
A sound policy and program will help to
reduce workplace injuries and illnesses that have costly consequences
for employers. Most obvious are those costs related to compensating and
treating the injured or ill person. But there are also a host of
"hidden" expenses related to lost time, productivity and production, and
damage to material, equipment, and property. A sound policy and program
can also help your company to reduce assessment costs, and to avoid
costly surcharges imposed by the Workers' Compensation Board. |
 |
A properly executed program developed by
EnSafe will help you ensure that resources for health and safety are
properly allocated and accounted for, and that duplication of effort and
information is avoided. |
 |
A sound health and safety program will
provide the basis for effective self regulation. |
EnSafe's professionals develop tailored H&S procedures to supplement
clients' internal policies as well as external regulatory and organizational
certification requirements. EnSafe's approach to health and safety program
development takes into account our clients' desire to apply for and obtain
the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's Voluntary Protection
Program STAR status. Additionally, EnSafe can design programs that are
consistent with international guidelines such as OHSAS 18001.
