What are the chances that the Ministry of Labour would want to conduct a visit of our workplace? And\u00a0yet here they were. <strong>Surprise<\/strong>!<\/p>\n<p>For the majority of Canadian employers, <strong>health and safety<\/strong> legislation is a <strong>provincial jurisdiction<\/strong>, and the provinces have\u00a0given occupational health and safety inspectors some pretty broad sweeping <strong>powers<\/strong>. In Ontario, inspectors can\u00a0issue on-the-spot <strong>tickets<\/strong> of\u00a0$200 or $300 for a wide range of less serious <strong>violations<\/strong> under the <em>Occupational Health &amp; Safety\u00a0<\/em><em>Act (<strong>OHSA<\/strong>)\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0<em>Regulations. \u00a0<\/em>According to a recent Carswell publication,\u00a0there were 780 convictions and fines of more than $9 million under the\u00a0<em>OHSA<\/em> in 2013-2014<em>.<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>Document, document, document!<\/h2>\n<p>After introducing myself and inviting the inspector to my office, I quickly realized I wouldn&#8217;t be leading this meeting. \u00a0A check list was produced, and I was asked a number of questions including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Has CCCC hired any <strong>workers<\/strong>\u00a025 years and under in the last six months?<\/li>\n<li>What\u00a0is CCCC&#8217;s health and safety <strong>policy<\/strong>?<\/li>\n<li>What is CCCC&#8217;s <strong>workplace violence and harassment <\/strong>policy?<\/li>\n<li>Where is CCCC&#8217;s health and safety awareness <strong>poster<\/strong>?<\/li>\n<li>Has CCCC conducted health and safety <strong>training<\/strong> for its staff members, and what training <strong>records<\/strong> have been kept?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Being\u00a0relatively new to CCCC, I\u00a0decided to ask our health and safety <strong>worker representative<\/strong> to join the meeting. \u00a0Between the two of us we were able to produce the required documentation and answer the inspector&#8217;s questions. The tone of the meeting became a bit more relaxed once it became evident that CCCC had met its obligations with regards to having the proper policies in place and ensuring that staff received the proper training.<\/p>\n<h2>Workplace inspection<\/h2>\n<p>As we began our tour of the building, nothing escaped the notice of the inspector. \u00a0A water stained ceiling tile from a leak that had long since been fixed was pointed out, and tags on our fire extinguishers were all checked. \u00a0Our building was thoroughly inspected from end to end.<\/p>\n<h2>Churches are workplaces too<\/h2>\n<p>It was during this time that the inspector told us about a <strong>church<\/strong> custodian who had fallen from a ladder while working alone in a gymnasium. \u00a0The custodian had broken a\u00a0leg during the fall, which is considered a <strong>critical injury<\/strong> in Ontario, and has specific\u00a0reporting requirements.<\/p>\n<p>After a period of time had passed, a couple of ladies that had come into the church to use the kitchen found the man, and were thankfully able to obtain help. \u00a0When asked what is one thing from a Health and Safety perspective that CCCC should share with its members, the inspector answered, churches are workplaces too.<\/p>\n<h2>Written report<\/h2>\n<p>The inspector provided us with a written <strong>report<\/strong>, which was to be posted somewhere visible in the workplace where staff members would be sure to see it. \u00a0We were quite pleased that not only were no orders to be issued, but that the inspector commended CCCC for its commitment to Health and Safety, and asked us to share this with our staff members as well.<\/p>\n<h2>The takeaway for charities<\/h2>\n<p>If you aren&#8217;t familiar with the health and safety legislation in your province, a good starting point would be visiting the following webpage:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ccohs.ca\/oshanswers\/information\/govt.html\">Canadian Government Departments Responsible for Occupational Health and Safety<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Ideally, health and safety should be a part of every charity&#8217;s workplace culture, with senior leaders and charity directors modelling a commitment to safety in the workplace. \u00a0Although no one goes to work expecting to get injured,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ccohs.ca\/events\/mourning\/\">The Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety<\/a>\u00a0reported 902 work related deaths in 2013, which is an average of 2.47 work related deaths per day.<\/p>\n<p>Health and safety in the workplace is a journey of continuous improvement, and\u00a0one that carries with it specific obligations for <strong>employers<\/strong>, <strong>managers<\/strong> and <strong>workers<\/strong>. \u00a0In Ontario, individuals convicted of an <em>OHSA\u00a0<\/em>contravention, or failure to comply with an order, can be fined up to $25,000, and\/or be imprisoned for up to 12 months. \u00a0Corporations convicted of an offence can be fined up to $500,000.<\/p>\n<p>I would encourage you to take the time\u00a0to review your charity&#8217;s health and safety policies and practices to ensure that you and your staff are working safely. \u00a0Not only will you help your charity to avoid costly\u00a0fines, you may just prevent an accident from occurring in your workplace.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A surprise visit This summer, CCCC received a visit from a Ministry of Labour\u00a0occupational health and safety inspector. \u00a0Of course this wasn&#8217;t a scheduled visit. \u00a0That&#8217;s the whole point. \u00a0They want to see what things are really like when you haven&#8217;t had a chance to prepare for an inspection.
