The Internal Responsibility System – Health and Safety in the Workplace
All parties in the Internal Responsibility System (IRS) need to be trained adequately to carry out their duties in the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA). The application of the strong IRS within the Seniors Active Living Centres will be discussed in this webinar, as well as showing evidence of demonstrated commitment from senior leadership, managers and supervisors. The OHSA creates an interlocking set of duties and responsibilities, which means everyone has responsibility for health and safety in the workplace. The Joint Health and Safety Committee (JHSC) plays a role by monitoring and supporting health and safety, and the Ministry of Labour, Training and Skills Development will intervene to determine if duties and obligations are fulfilled.
