Description
Most interactions with Labour inspectors will likely occur out of sight of management. Your company may already have a health and safety policy, provide some training and encourage a “safety culture” however as a company owner you should have a robust understanding of the various obligations under the Occupational Health and Safety Act. Ministry inspections, orders issued and their status can negatively impact your company. Legislative proposals and changes could have an effect on your business. Ministry enforcement targets should be anticipated.
