We are fully committed to ensuring our written safety programs are in full compliance with WorkSafeBC legislation and federal legislation.

Once complete, our professionals will take the time to educate our clients on how to effectively implement their health and safety program in the workplace. According to the Workers Compensation Act and the Occupational Health and Safety Regulation, it’s the employer’s responsibility to implement an occupational health and safety (OHS) program to prevent employee workplace injury and disease. OHS programs in British Columbia must meet certain safety standards. The employer must exercise due diligence in taking steps to meet those standards. You must have a 'formal' health and safety program if you have either a workforce of 20 or more workers and at least one workplace where there is a moderate or high risk of injury and when you have a workforce of 50 or more workers. Small businesses or employers with fewer than 20 workers need a health and safety program too. These programs can be simpler. We refer to them as "informal" health and safety programs.

Vancouver Lower Mainland, BC: (604) 259-8020 Victoria Vancouver Island, BC: (250) 999-9380 Email: info@greystonesafety.com Misunderstandings start when there’s no written, signed agreement about safety roles and responsibilities between the owner and prime contractor in BC. Verbal understandings or assumptions made by either the owner or prime contractor can, at best, cause confusion. The prime contractor may assume responsibility for the site’s health and safety program when, in fact, the owner has retained this responsibility. In the worst-case scenario, safety is compromised and workers’ lives are put at risk when prime contractors don’t understand the extent of their health and safety responsibilities. All of this can be avoided by adding an appendix or schedule clause to the contract of work that specifies health and safety duties appointed by the owner to the prime contractor. Without this written agreement, the owner retains responsibility.
IDENTIFY, CORRECT AND ADDRESS HEALTH AND SAFETY HAZARDS Overall, the prime contractor is responsible for identifying and addressing hazards and establishing a comprehensive system of corrective action — from young worker orientation to fall protection programs. The prime contractor is also responsible for having systems in place to ensure two-way communication with subcontractors. Where hazards are specific to the work of a particular subcontractor, however, that contractor is responsible for eliminating or, if that’s not possible, minimizing the risk to workers. Subcontractors should also notify the prime contractor in advance of any work that is likely to create a hazard for a worker or another subcontractor. In the end, it is still the prime contractor’s responsibility to ensure all corrective action is taken and that regular inspections are made to prevent the development of unsafe practices or conditions. COMMUNICATE AND COORDINATE WITH SUBCONTRACTORS Subcontractors have a health and safety role to play in a multiple employer workplace, but the prime contractor must communicate and coordinate with subcontractors in the following ways: • Receiving from each subcontractor on site the names of the qualifi ed persons designated to 1) supervise their workers and 2) be responsible for the subcontractor’s site health and safety activities • Ensuring subcontractors notify the prime contractor in advance of any undertaking likely to create a hazard for a worker of another subcontractor • Communicating any known hazards to all affected subcontractors and workers • Attending site meetings with subcontractors to coordinate safety and ensure compliance with the Workers Compensation Act and the Occupational Health and Safety Regulation. ASSIGN A QUALIFIED HEALTH AND SAFETY COORDINATOR When responsible for health and safety a multiple employer workplace, coordination is essential. While the prime contractor is still responsible for many specific outcomes in a multiple employer workplace, the coordination begins by assigning a qualified health and safety lead who, among other things, is responsible for: • Identifying and setting expectations for each subcontractor’s safety contact • Coordinating all safety-related activities, from site orientations to safety committee meetings and tool box talks, to inspections and incident reviews • Informing employers and workers of the hazards created in the workplace • Ensuring that the hazards are addressed throughout the duration of the work activities. ESTABLISH AN EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN The prime contractor is responsible for the site’s emergency response plan and for communicating it to all workers. This plan should take into account the number of people onsite, the people who work outside regular hours, and the types of emergencies that may arise. The plan should also describe subcontractor and individual worker responsibilities (e.g., responding to a fire) and provide for any necessary training and equipment, including first aid supplies. As work processes change over the course of the project, the emergency response plan needs to be updated. MAINTAIN ACCURATE HEALTH AND SAFETY RECORDS Fulfilling your health and safety responsibility is one thing. Proving it is another. That’s why keeping accurate records and notes is a must. Documentation demonstrating the coordination of safety-related activities and a system to ensure compliance with the Act and Regulation may include: • Notes from the initial site safety meetings • Safety committee meeting minutes • Reviews of contractors’ safety systems • Inspection and incident investigation reports • First aid records • Documentation of orientation and training (especially for young and new workers, see Regulation 3.23–25) Greystone Safety Services in BC has been providing Health and Safety Training, OHS Health and Safety Consulting Services, OHS Health and Safety Audits, OHS Health and Safety Inspections, OHS Health Safety Programs Development in BC for 20 years: SERVING VICTORIA BC (VANCOUVER ISLAND), VANCOUVER BC, NORTH VANCOUVER BC, WEST VANCOUVER BC, BURNABY BC, NEW WESTMINSTER BC, RICHMOND BC, SURREY BC, LANGLEY BC, FORT LANGLEY BC, MAPLE RIDGE BC, COQUITLAM BC, PORT COQUITLAM BC, PORT MOODY BC, PITT MEADOWS BC, MISSION BC & ABBOTSFORD BC WHAT WE DO

Active Health & Safety Management
Active health and safety management in BC is an essential first step toward improving your organization's health and safety culture. There are two aspects of managing health and safety performance for continual improvement:
An active health and safety management approach encompasses the health and safety program approach and builds upon it. Standards for Active Health & Safety Management The two aspects of actively managing health and safety, mentioned above, are combined in the framework of occupational health and safety management system (OHSMS) canadian standards such as CSA Z1000-14. OHSMS standards outline the principles and processes to follow for continual health and safety improvement. OHSMS standards can be applied to any industry. They do not make reference to specific hazards, but they indicate the need for specific health and safety processes and proactive management processes. Within these standards are components of an effective health and safety program, including:
Adopting an OHSMS standard for your organization is voluntary, but it is very beneficial. Using these standards of active health and safety management can steer you towards best practice. Actively managing health and safety is a key step to improving your organization's health and safety culture.

OHS programs in British Columbia BC must meet certain safety standards. The employer must exercise due diligence in taking steps to meet those standards.
You must have a 'formal' health and safety program if you have either a workforce of 20 or more workers and at least one workplace where there is a moderate or high risk of injury and when you have a workforce of 50 or more workers. Small businesses or employers with fewer than 20 workers need a health and safety program too. These programs can be simpler. We refer to them as "informal" health and safety programs. Health and safety programs in BC are aimed at ensuring workers are protected, risks are minimized, and a healthy and safe workplace is maintained. All employers must establish some form of health and safety program at the workplace. The type of program you need depends on the number of workers you have and the risks associated with their work. Though every workplace and every occupational health and safety (OHS) program are different, there are some key elements common to all programs. Greystone Safety Services has been providing clients with professional occupational health and safety consulting services, ohs safety audits, ohs safety inspections and safety training courses in: VICTORIA BC, VANCOUVER ISLAND BC, VANCOUVER BC, NORTH VANCOUVER BC, WEST VANCOUVER BC, BURNABY BC, NEW WESTMINSTER BC, RICHMOND BC, SURREY BC, DELTA BC, LANGLEY BC, FORT LANGLEY BC, MAPLE RIDGE BC, COQUITLAM BC, PORT COQUITLAM BC, PORT MOODY BC, PITT MEADOWS BC, ABBOTSFORD BC and MISSION BC.  Fall Protection Training in BC
Falls from heights, even relatively low elevations, can result in serious injuries. The proper use of fall protection equipment — in addition to planning, supervision, and training — can reduce or eliminate the risk of falling. The Occupational Health and Safety Regulation in BC requires workers to use fall protection systems when they could fall from a height of 3 m (10 ft.) or more, or where a fall from a lesser height could result in serious injury. Employers in BC are required to ensure all their employees working at heights are adequately provided with certified fall protection training in BC. Fall Protection Hierarchy The fall protection hierarchy in BC must be used when choosing methods to eliminate or control fall hazards. The steps are listed in the order in which they should be considered.
