The Occupiers’ Liability Act puts a similar legal obligation on us to provide safe environments for our customers.
This course is designed to raise the participant’s level of awareness of the legislation, regulations, codes, standards and best practices that govern our workplaces and our facilities. Emphasis is placed on the potential outcomes and impacts of failing to comply and the role of frontline staff in the partnership that is workplace and facility safety, a partnership that includes administration right through to part-time students. Not knowing is not a defence in the event that there is an incident or injury in our workplaces or facilities.
The course includes an introduction to the 30 plus legislative obligations while identifying some of the 100 plus codes and regulations that guide our operations. Emphasis will be placed on how employees can protect themselves and their organization from liability related to the Occupiers’ Liability Act and OHSA. Examples of failures and best practices will illuminate the importance of due diligence and caring supported by documentation.
Who should attend?
All full and part time employees working in recreation facilities.
