Program review policy

 

Scaffold Depot management will monitor the company health and safety program(s) on an ongoing basis to ensure an annual review is performed.
Person(s) involved in the program review will be qualified to do so.
 
As such, Collins Safety Services Ltd will be retained and involved in the program review as per Terms and Conditions of Use Policy. The review will examine all the elements of the program to ensure that the program continues to meet WorkSafeBC and company requirements. The improvements will be the result of input from the Management, the Safety Committee, the Employees, the Workers’ Compensation Board, etc. Changes in work processes or the products used will be included in the program revision, if there is a change in the effect of the process or product on the health and safety of any employee.

 

Procedures

 

The introduction of a new work or a new product (with potential health and safety hazards) shall result in a review by the Management and the Safety Committee to ensure all health and safety safeguards are in place. Any significant change in the effects (or potential effects) on employees’ health and safety, will be encompassed in the program to ensure that employees have access to that information.

Any major reduction of the effectiveness of the current Health and Safety Program will be immediately addressed by means of a full audit. The audit will identify the source of the problem(s) and will be modified to include corrective measures for the elimination of said problem(s).

 

Program Audit

 

The Health and Safety Program shall be audited and evaluated annually. The purpose of the audit is to ensure the program is being utilized and is effective and to investigate the safety activities and performance during the previous year within the context of the Program Manual. The audit will also be used to set measurable objectives and to outline specific safety activities, focal points, and revisions to procedures for the coming year.

The annual review will be based on an acceptable format to Certificate of Recognition requirements (COR) and WorkSafeBC standards.
A written report, including unbiased evaluations, will be produced.

Upon completion of the written report Scaffold Depot will:

• Develop an action plan to implement practicable recommended revisions.

• Monitor the implementation of the action plan.
