Site Safety Assessment (SSA)Safe practices start before the work begins.
Section 3 of the Occupational Health and Safety Regulations states:
- (3.5) “Every employer must ensure that regular inspections are made of all workplaces …at intervals that will prevent the development of unsafe working conditions.”
- (3.9) ”Unsafe or harmful conditions found in the course of an inspection must be remedied without delay.”
The Site Safety Assessment kit is comprised of three (3) working parts:
- Promotes a culture of safety in your company – by bringing a disciplined approach to “regular workplace inspections” in order to detect any unsafe condition
- Assists your company in meeting its mandate to “remedy without delay” any unsafe condition
- Keeps all workers and site visitors informed of site-specific hazards and mitigating steps (not all hazards can be eliminated)
- Is available without cost
