Health & Safety Programs
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.
