We understand that these are challenging times, with emerging implications and impacts. We encourage good communication as we work through this current situation. Employers in BC have an obligation to provide a safe workplace under the Workers Compensation Act and the Occupational Health and Safety Regulation. This includes taking reasonable and responsible measures to protect employees from a contagion like the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19). The purpose of this safety course is to provide information to staff about the COVID-19 virus and the key prevention measures required to prevent the spread of the virus. Managers and/or Supervisors must review the following information with their staff. They must ensure that workers understand the hazards and are adequately instructed on the controls for the hazards at their location and are following safe work practices. We must all take this pandemic seriously. This course helps Operations Supervisors meet their workplace safety obligations. It allows supervisors in any industry to select the topics they want to explore, to proceed at their own pace, and to earn a certificate of completion. Key topics include: Safety Management Systems; Keys to Effective Safety Supervision; Communication Skills; New/ Young Worker Education and Training; Impairment; Musculoskeletal Injury Reduction; Workplace Evaluation; Incident Analysis and Claims & Disability Management Programs.
