Workplace Injury Prevention

Workplace Injury Prevention

To reduce the number of injuries and the related costs, Wellington at Work tailors prevention activities and physical therapy services to each individual and work site.

OHS Policy/Procedures

Ontario’s Occupational Health and Safety Act has legislated mandatory minimum requirements for all workplaces, such as monthly workplace inspections, quarterly Joint Health and Safety Committee meetings, and Workplace Hazardous Material Information System (WHMIS) orientation. Wellington at Work can help you set up these programs at your facility.

Health & Safety Committees

Must you have a Health and Safety Committee or Representative? Are they performing the duties and fulfilling the role required of them under the Act? Are your Committee records in good order? Be sure with the Safety Readiness Program.

• Requirements under the OHSA
• Establish goals, roles and responsibilities
• Coordinate mandatory training and/or certification
• Committee meeting facilitation
• Facility audit templates and training

Hazard Analysis & Recognition

Hazardous jobs require written procedures. Common areas that require analysis and recognition include fall-arrest rescue, lock out and tag, confined space areas, traffic control, and overhead power line protection. Wellington at Work can help you identify hazards and implement safety procedures.

Basics of Supervision

The key to reducing injuries is to increase the number of safe behaviors and decrease the number of at-risk behaviors occurring on the jobsite. Excellence in safety requires the workers themselves to be involved in the safety process.
