Education Consultants – WorkSafeNB

All employers want a healthy and safe workplace. Safety at work can be negatively impacted by many factors, one of which is the lack of understanding about the OHS Act.  The OHS Act applies to employers with 20 or more employees in New Brunswick.

In a strong safety culture, everyone feels responsible for safety, and they live it daily. Employees feel comfortable bringing up safety concerns with their employer. Effective safety leaders drive culture, which in turn, drives behaviours and sustains the change over a longer period.

Ensuring a safe workplace is an on-going responsibility for Business Leaders, HR Professionals, Supervisors and Employees. Today’s session will provide the link between the role of HR Professionals, the regulations, leadership, culture, engagement and a safe workplace.
