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.
Our weekly MIRS PROGRAM IS THE SOLUTION...
- One session, 1 hour in duration per week. The sessions run twice weekly so you can decide which day you want to join. All sessions are done over the Internet from your home or office computer
- 48 sessions per year (1 session per week)
- Join other like minded individuals to share Health and Safety challenges and knowledge collectively
- A different topic each week from your Policy and Procedure manual
