By the Numbers: Falls in the Workplace

Unintentional falls are the most common form of injury across the country: every day last year, falls resulted in almost 1,800 reported emergency department visits and 417 hospital admissions, says a new report by the Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI). In the U.S. in 2017, fatal falls were at their highest level in the 26-year history of the Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries (CFOI) accounting for 887 (17 percent) worker deaths.

Sexual Harassment: Understanding Unwelcome and Unwanted Behavior

It is not uncommon to hear employees say things like this, “We can’t even give someone a compliment around here without being accused of sexual harassment.” Or, “I was just joking, she’s way too sensitive. There’s no way that was harassment.” No doubt you have several other phrases you could add to the list.But it’s not that hard to understand what is and what is not considered sexual harassment when you look at in terms of a behavior being unwelcome and unwanted.

Sexual Harassment: Addressing and Reporting Complaints

According to a recent study, when asked what happens to harassers, 70% of respondents stated they believed harassers face no consequences. Imagine what this belief does to the willingness and probability of a victim reporting an incident of harassment. It doesn’t matter if 100% of harassers did face consequences, perception is often seen as reality and in this case, the reality that’s being seen is likely one of the reasons harassment often goes unreported and unchecked.What do you think the perception is at your organization? What’s the reality? Have you asked?

Focus On: First Aid Training

Training your first aid attendants and first responders is a required part of every first aid program. But do you know what exactly should be covered or what training methods to use? Hazards are present at all worksites, from offices to mines. So too are the chances of injuries and illnesses. Sudden cardiac arrest, severe bleeding, shock, a near-drowning, or lack of oxygen during confined space work are all life-threatening emergencies. Without prompt and properly performed first aid a victim of any of these situations will very likely die or be permanently disabled while waiting for emergency services to arrive and begin care.

Handling Work Refusals and Avoiding Reprisal Complaints

March 27th, 2019 | One of the most powerful protections for employees under the Occupational Health and Safety Act is the right to refuse unsafe work. While the right to refuse unsafe work has proven to be an essential element of safeguarding workplace safety, it has also been improperly used as a tool for other, non-safety related ends by employees and organized labour. Employers must navigate these treacherous waters, ensuring that legitimate work refusals are dealt with appropriately, while preventing abuse of this significant power.
