Challenge

Employers have an obligation to ensure that working conditions do not risk the health of their employees. Legislation defines the conditions which, if present, require that the employer monitor the employee for adverse effects.

Employers must develop and implement health and safety programs to address work-related risks.

Ergonomic issues can have a negative impact on employee health and productivity.

WSIB incents employers to return an injured employee to work as soon as possible. Doing so improperly may harm both the employee and the employer.

Happy, healthy employees are productive employees. Can an employer provide programs that improve the health of their employees? How do you know what kind of programs will be of value to your employees?

Communicable diseases put workforces at risk. What happens if a large number of your workforce is unavailable for work due to illness?
