Description
The recent round of hiring at Labour has resulted in the most inspectors ever on staff. The OHSA authorizes inspectors to conduct unannounced inspections at any time. Are you prepared? Steps should be taken to increase confidence in your preparedness for an inspection. There are basic elements that an inspector will audit, including mandatory workplace documents. This session is intended to equip you to be better prepared, potentially reducing orders and related down time, all with the main goal of improving worker safety.
