COMPANY SAFETY PROGRAM NEWFOUNDLAND
The Occupational Health and Safety Act and OHS Regulations of Newfoundland Labrador applies to all employers, workers, and self-employed persons. Employers with less than ten employees will be required to have an occupational health and safety policy in place while employers with ten or more employees will be required to have an occupational health and safety program in place.
The development of a health and safety policy or program is the responsibility of all employers in Newfoundland Labrador, Canada. The requirements for the establishment of an occupational health and safety policy or programs came into effect on January 1, 2002. Occupational Health and Safety Officers may conduct inspections to ensure such policies/programs are in place. Where the employer has not yet established a policy/program, officers will issue orders (directives) to ensure compliance. These orders will require the establishment of a policy within 30 days or a program within 90 days of the issuance of the order. We can develop other Health and Safety Manuals for throughout Canada: SAFETY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS NEWFOUNDLAND |
