Health and Safety Documentation Tools
If you want to effectively address health and safety issues you need a systematic approach — one that gathers health and safety concerns and tracks efforts to resolve them from start to finish.
Workplace representatives have considerable legal duties and need solid, documentation practices when inspecting the workplace and investigating injuries, illnesses and fatalities.
Documenting health and safety issues helps:
Record worker concerns
Support JHSC recommendations and monitor JHSC functioning
Track compliance with recommendations and legal OHS requirements
Provide a history of compliance for health and safety inspectors
Raise the profile of, and commitment to, workplace health and safety.
WHSC offers a three-hour training program, Documenting Health and Safety, to help improve these critical documentation skills. Participants will learn the purpose and importance of documenting workplace health and safety issues and through interactive activities will practice using forms and reports. The program’s documentation tools are also available as downloadable, interactive PDFs.
