Ensuring your workers are represented and engaged contributes to a healthier and safer workplace

As an employer, you are responsible for workplace health and safety planning. Building a strong workplace health and safety culture helps prevent workplace injury, disease, and death.

Engage your workers in health and safety

Engage with your workers to identify health and safety risks at your workplace, and follow up with a plan to minimize those risks. Have a conversation about safety with your team, build on their input, and ensure they feel heard. Some ways to start:

• Have a chat over coffee to address safety concerns and listen to feedback
• Take a walk across the factory floor to identify potential risks together
• Review your joint health and safety committee action items as a team

Use the tools and resources below to build a culture of health and safety together at your workplace.
