Workers’ Safety Obligations

Date: August 8, 2018

Speaker: Norm Keith

Workers have important legal duties under Occupational Health and Safety laws across Canada. Workers are the primary beneficiaries of a safe work place. Yet workers often fail to understand their duties and follow employers' safety policies.

This Webinar will cover 3 main areas:

1. Understanding workers' legal duties;

2. Incorporating legal duties in employer workplace policies;

3. Worker engagement for improving safety performance.

The goal of the Webinar will be to increase knowledge, compliance and safety outcomes.
