Safety Audits/Inspections

 

Workwell Audits

 

Workplace Safety Group consultants can assist companies to prepare in advance of a Workwell audit by visiting a company’s premises and reviewing company policies, PPE, processes and conducting operational & hazard assessments. Workplace Safety Group will also review WSIB statements to help facilitate corrective solutions after the WSIB Workwell audit.

 

WSIB Claims and Assessment Management

 

Workplace Safety Group consultants will review WSIB cost statements to determine if companies are in the correct rate group. As well, we will review payroll deductions versus assessment billing to ensure that the company is being equitably billed.

 

Return to Work Policies

 

Returning an injured worker to work is a shared responsibility primarily between the employer and the worker. Workplace Safety Group consultants help to facilitate this process as seamlessly as possible. We can perform a Needs Analysis of the work site and get professional medical input to determine the type, length and scope of a program to assist with workers’ return to the workplace. We can also assist in determining whether the modified work program should be temporary or permanent.

 

Insurance Programs

 

Workplace Safety Group consultants can audit insurance policies covering short and long-term disability, health insurance etc. to determine if the employer has a cost effective and constructive plan based on the operations of the company and the number of employees.

 

WSIB/WCB Claims Management and Appeals

 

Workplace Safety Group consultants can provide advice and support when an appeal occurs or assist the employer in determining if they should launch an appeal. We can work through the appeal process from start to finish and represent the employer at a WSIB appeals hearing.

 

Hazard Assessments

 

Once hazards have been identified, the next step is to implement measures to eliminate or control them. Workplace Safety Group consultants can help in this process.

 

Customized Policy and Procedure Design and Implementation

 

A well-laid out policy and procedure manual allows a company to operate more efficiently & safely. Workplace Safety Group consultants will customize documents to correspond with identified requirements and current legislation.

Accident Investigation and Documentation

 

Finding the causes of an accident and taking steps to control or eliminate it will help prevent similar accidents from happening in the future. Workplace Safety Group consultants will help in the thorough and complete investigation and documentation process. In the event of an appeal to the WSIB, it is crucial to have a detailed account of the events that occurred; a comprehensive investigation will provide these facts.

 

Respiratory Protection Training

 

When effective engineering controls are not feasible, or while they are being instituted, appropriate respiratory protection must be used. Workplace Safety Group consultants will provide the training

needed to identify hazards and find solutions.

 
Workplace Safety Group consultants have the expertise to help you apply Health & Safety in your everyday business practices ensuring that your employees have a safe working environment that meets the requirements set out both by the WSIB and the Ministry of Labour.
