Received a Workwell Audit notice?

If you have paid a WSIB surcharge in the recent past, you may be on the receiving end of a Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB) Workwell Audit notice. This is a 40 page audit that covers your procedures with respect to identification of hazard, training for employees who handle these hazardous substances, safe operational procedures and also the involvement of management in safety related initiatives.

Every page of the audit documentation gets a score and your business should get a total of over 75% of the score to pass the audit. Failure to comply with Occupational Health and Safety Act and respective regulations may result in a huge fine of up to $500,000, meaning that keeping your safety procedures in line with these requirements is definitely essential for your profitability.
