4 Workplace Safety & Prevention Services
Closing the Loop: Setting Up a Health & Safety System in Your Small Business
about this Guide
Navigating your way through the rules and
regulations that govern workplace health
& safety can be challenging. Sometimes it
may even seem that the law really wasn't
made to reflect the reality of small and
medium sized businesses. The truth is
health & safety is not rocket science.
In fact, much of it, like so many things in
life, is common sense. The purpose of this
guide is to help you make sure that health
and safety is not something that is left to
chance — think of it as a map that will help
you set your course and navigate your
way to a safer, healthier workplace. The
Self-Assessment tool is a place to start.
By writing down your policies and your
expectations — and reviewing them with
your employees, everyone really is working
from the same page. By making sure that
your employees understand these policies
and expectations the same way you do,
you plant the seeds for a safe and healthy
workplace — and that makes a lot of sense.
You have just taken an important step on the road to zero
injuries. You already know what it takes to make your
business a success. You work hard to make sure your business
runs smoothly: you have systems in place to track your
inventory and customer data; you have systems to manage
things like accounting and payroll — and by the time you work
your way through this guide, you'll have what you need to
make health & safety an everyday part of your business, too.
Congratulations!
