Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why is workplace safety so important?

Not only is it mandatory by law to keep workers safe and to follow standard safety practices, it’s a moral responsibility. The safety and health of workers should never be compromised for a paycheque. Making safety a top priority is important for the overall productivity of a business, for workplace morale, to prevent accidents and injuries, and to maintain a good business image.

A JHSC is a committee that’s made up of workers which are selected by the unions and workers that they represent. Their main goal is to improve the health and safety conditions of a workplace.

Occupational health and safety laws are important because they:

  • Promote and maintain the social, psychological, and physical well-being of employees
  • Prevent workplace accidents and injuries
  • Ensure that workers have certain rights
  • Set safety standards for workplaces
  • Enforce breaches of workplace safety standards with penalties
  • Protect workers from poor and unsafe working conditions

There’s a common saying amongst health and safety professionals: a safe workplace is a productive workplace.

Studies show that when a workplace has a healthy attention to workplace safety, the productivity is significantly increase and business expenses also decrease. By introducing effective safety training, mitigating risks, and creating an overall healthier workplace you can reduce accidents, improve workers morale, and ultimately have less downtime.
