Most organizations have basically good health and safety practices in place.

Despite this fact, more and more are running into problems with either WSIB non compliance, MOL prosecutions or third party injury claims, especially with the increase in WSIB Workwell audits.

Here’s why:

• There are different systems and procedures for WSIB, MOL and third party injury prevention. This inconsistency and lack of standardization is confusing and results in non observance;
• The standards, policies and procedures are aimed at prevention but are not geared to “Trial Ready™” proof of Due Diligence and the need to protect you from prosecution, penalties, premiums and law suits;
• Audits pointing out shortcomings and the need for improvements can be seized and utilized against you because they are not confidential.

Here’s what you should do to change all this:

• Standardize and integrate all health and safety concerns into one, simple format to provide easy to follow guidelines and predictability;
• Package your procedures so that they are geared to prove Due Diligence and are Trial Ready™;
• Combine the expertise of your consultants with the know how and experience of trial lawyers who know what is needed when trouble occurs. Teamwork is important!
• Protect your consultants’ audits and reports from prying eyes through an effective Privilege Protocol™.
