How does your company measure up under Due Diligence?
According to the Legal Services Branch of Ontario's Ministry of Labour, due diligence is defined as:
All reasonable care has been taken to avoid the prohibited act
How do you show due diligence? Here's a checklist you can use:
- Do you have a health & safety policy and specific rules and policies to govern health and safety at your workplace?
- Do you give all employees adequate orientation training before they start any new job?
- Do you provide initial and ongoing training to employees?
- Do you appoint a competent person to supervise work?
- Do you identify, monitor and control hazards in your workplace?
- Do you communicate hazards and risks to your employees?
- Do you hold regular Health & Safety Meetings?
- Do you enforce your safety procedures?
If you have these basic steps to due diligence in place and can show that the system operates effectively, you're on your way to a safe, healthy and productive workplace. If you're missing some steps, we can help!
