MIRS Program

Mentoring on Internal Responsibility System

The legal duties and responsibilities of employers, supervisors and workers are defined in the Occupational Health and Safety Act. As a team, everyone is responsible for Health and Safety in the Workplace.  We define this as the internal responsibility system or IRS.

Simply put, the IRS means everyone in the workplace has a role to play and a duty to actively ensure workers are safe. Every worker who sees a health and safety problem such as a hazard in the workplace has a duty to report the situation to management. Once a hazard has been identified, the employer and supervisor have a duty to look at the problem and eliminate any hazard that could injure workers.

Our members are telling us that implementing a "Safety Program" is difficult because of time constraints, knowing what to do, where to start and most of all how to maintain consistency with the program from month to month.
