What problem are you trying to solve?
All too often we hear from organizations that they have OHS policies and procedures in place. The binder was written years ago. The training material is set. There might be dust, dirt, grime, industrial “gunk” on the binder, but it’s on the bookshelf… of course, they’re compliant.
OHS regulation doesn’t change too frequently. In fact, very seldom is there a massive overhaul in the laws, but it has happened in 6 jurisdictions in the last 10 years, and more are coming – so we are in a very interesting time for growth and risk when you look at OHS compliance.
The reality is that OHS is evolving.
Technology and the hazards from new technology have forced legislation to play catch-up; what’s more, civil cases and fines have set precedents that can put your company at real financial risk if you aren’t compliant.
Did you know your executive suite and your board can be held criminally liable?
How do you know if you are compliant?
You can spend time reading all the cases, fine announcements, legislation, debate minutes, and legal filings; put together summaries and comparative matrixes; audit your current procedures and policies to make sure the language is correct, core competencies are covered, and your employees are always aware… or you can leverage our expertise to do just that for you.
OHS Insider has the largest library of policies and procedures that are compliant to the highest legislation. You can download, edit and implement in minutes. If an important case sets a precedent or might, OHS Insider alerts you, gives you the information and tools you need to quickly change your policies & procedures, and gives you the talking points required to make sure your employees are trained effectively.
Consider OHS Insider your outsourced OHS legal team, your robust JHSC, and your tactical OHS manager that is doing the background work you need to make sure you are spending time where you create the most value.
What does that mean to you?
It means that employees might not be as safe as they think they are. It means that your company is potentially at risk of fines and civil suits? It means you are probably overpaying your liability insurance because you have to? It means you aren’t in a good place.
Want to be in a good place?
All the model templates on OHS Insider are compliant to the highest regulatory standard. You can download, edit (change the logo and company language), and implement in minutes.
The first is legislative change, which is a slow moving transition that involves government action. Sometimes the pace can be quick, but usually this type of change takes years.
The second, is civil action. Often, when there is an accident & incident, it is followed by an investigation, fines and potentially legal action by the injured against you, your insurance, or both. This action and the precedent it sets can affect OHS just as much as legislative action.
How?
Every case creates a precedent that is used as the baseline for future cases, which means your exposure and risk grows and grows. Which means your costs also grow and grow.
OHS Insider does the hard work of keeping you informed of all the cases and precedents, but with also updating all of our policies, procedures and other tools so that they are ALWAYS compliant.
Each year, OHS Insider delivers up to 30 webinars from various thought leaders, legal experts, and real-world OHS directors highlighting lessons-learned in their industry.
These webinars, and the recordings, are available to all members at no cost.
In addition, these webinars often count as “learning” and “training” and are therefore eligible for certification points.
How do you get the points?
Depending on your designation, you can submit the webinar, date, and time for consideration. When possible, OHS Insider will be pre-approved, based upon the topic of the webinar, but regardless, all of our past webinars have been awarded certification credits after the fact.
Over 60% of Canadian businesses operate in 2 or more jurisdictions.
Why does this matter?
Although the base “general duty clause” is a common guideline for OHS across all jurisdictions, there can be significant differences when it comes to other elements of OHS law.
These differences mean that you might need to modify your procedures depending on where employees are working.
It’s important for you to understand that you are governed by the law of where the work is being done, not where the employee or organization is based – with the exception of Federally regulated industries.
Don’t worry if you don’t know if your OHS is compliant to multiple jurisdictions, OHS Insider produces “Know the Laws” comparison charts and ensures that all of our tools are compliant to the highest regulatory standards.

OHS Insider has resources to make sure you are compliant, and resources to help you and front-line supervisors reinforce that safety message.
In addition, OHS Insider partners with SafetyNow ILT and SafetyNow to deliver compliant safety training in both an instructor-led and online training format.
