Are you prepared, do you know your rights?
In Ontario, the Occupational Health and Safety Act outlines the responsibilities of workplace parties to keep workers safe and healthy. The role of the MOL Inspector is to ensure compliance with the OHSA and associated regulations. It is equally important that employers understand their rights when a MOL inspector arrives at your business door.
This training session will provide a guide for employers to understand their rights with regards to the following circumstances:
- Worker or JHSC complaint to the MOL
- Workplace inspection
- Workplace refusal or stop work activity which is not resolved internally by your JHSC
- Critical injury or fatality
- Follow up on MOL orders
- Legal advice regarding the consequences of an accident
Please note, your business should have a plan in place to respond to routine MOL inspections and accident investigations. If you are interested in this program or would like to discuss how we might assist you, please contact our office.
The Health and Safety Professional is taught many skill sets in order to safeguard the worker and workplace, and to learn what needs to be done should an incident occur...but not all businesses are equipped with a safety professional standing ready at hand to address every concern or issue.
This four (4) day training program has been developed for individuals and companies who may not have formal training in Health & Safety, and/or those requiring additional training and insight. The program has been designed for Human Resources Personnel, Supervisors, Managers, Health and Safety Representatives, and Company Owners.
This is not a Part One Certification course (see Part One Certification), but rather covers content found in the Part One Program in addition to other important training materials and skill sets.
