Safety Group is based on the premise that a well-integrated workplace health and safety program is good for business.
Firms from similar or different businesses or rate groups volunteer to join a safety group with a collective purpose:
to learn from each other’s experience in implementing injury and illness prevention programs.
Firms that invest and implement effective health and safety programs can benefit from a WSIB financial incentive. Each safety group has a sponsor, in this case the LABE. We have been approved by the WSIB to administer the SGP and to facilitate and support workplace self-reliance in health and safety and return to work programs. The role of the sponsor is to oversee the group and regularly report to the WSIB. We promote the group’s interaction and networking by organizing meetings and leadership workshops. We offer guidance on action plan development and track the individual firm’s and the group’s achievement and performance goals. |
