A brief description of the institution’s workplace health and safety initiatives, including how workers are engaged in monitoring and advising on health and safety programs:
In 2003, Fanshawe College created the Corporate Health and Safety Management System (CHSMS). The Health and Safety Management System provides the framework for the College and its subsidiaries, its Officers and Management, to demonstrate “due diligence” in managing health and safety issues.
Fanshawe has many initiatives in place to improve workplace health and safety.
The comprehensive Corporate Health and Safety Management System follows the principles set out in CSA Z1000. Once every 5 years, an external audit confirms conformance to the standard. Among other things, the CHSMS ensures active engagement by workers at all levels of the organization.
Current college practices include:
- Timely access to information relevant to CHSMS by having health and safety as a standing agenda item, face-to-face at staff meetings or individually, and health and safety board postings.
- Supporting worker participation by having:
- Self-registration for online training
- Open access to Environment, Health and Safety Services staff and SharePoint portal information.
- Training program feedback
- Online near miss reporting
- Workers being informed, consulted on, and given the opportunity to participate in all aspects of health and safety associated with their work, such as:
- Risk assessments
- Legal registries
- Development of Safe Operating Procedures
- Providing feedback to training
- Incident report submissions,
- Near miss suggestions, and
- Inspection.
WHMIS, Musculoskeletal Disorders Awareness, Health and Safety Awareness, and Incident Reporting are required for all staff. There is a suite of over 50 health and safety courses which are delivered to staff performing various tasks. Each course has course objectives, competency testing, feedback mechanisms and mandatory refresh frequencies.
Regular communications are used to help keep mindful of all hazards. These communication media include emails, safety talks and a calendar is produced every year that highlights common safety issues
