In 2004, the Westray Bill (Bill C-45) was amended in the Canadian Criminal Code regarding the legal duties for workplace health and safety in Canada. As such, employers and business owners in BC and across Canada have been making strides to secure the safety and wellbeing of their employees. Which is something Vancouver Floor Safety is happy to also help with!
What is the Westray Bill (Bill C-45)?
As noted on the ccohs.ca website…
The Westray bill or Bill C-45 was federal legislation that amended the Canadian Criminal Code and became law on March 31, 2004. The Bill (introduced in 2003) established new legal duties for workplace health and safety, and imposed serious penalties for violations that result in injuries or death. The Bill provided new rules for attributing criminal liability to organizations, including corporations, their representatives and those who direct the work of others.
Although this can sound intimidating to some; the knowledge of what is expected of employers, and pre-emptively mitigating risks, is what we are here to help with.
