Occupational Health and Safety Today

Today’s global OHS workplace environment is very different from 20 years ago it is more complex and there is mounting legislative obligations for employers. Retaining experienced & knowledgeable workers becomes a challenge for employers as Canadian workers will approach retirement within the next few years and possibly leave a shortage of qualified, experienced safety professionals.

Having competent safety professionals is important to any business as every employer must meet the Occupational Health and Safety Act and Regulations. More organisations are turning to certified health and safety professionals because of the enormous costs associated with occupational incidents.  A wide variety of industries ranging from agriculture, manufacturing, health care and construction, make it a requirement for safety professionals to understand the complexities of managing health and safety which demands expertise and experience.

So what should you look for when hiring a safety professional? Employers should look for OHS professionals who are certified through a professional certification program. Independent third-party accreditations are available to certification organizations, including accreditation to the international standard ISO/IEC 17024. Accreditation of a certification program ensure that there is open and accountable governance practices, peer and public participation in the development of the certification, financial disclosure, fairness to candidates, valid and reliable examinations, recertification procedures are in place, the certification process is independent from training or preparation, and that a management system is followed. As the only accredited ISO 17024 organisation for occupational health and safety in Canada, the CRSP designation is a widely accepted form of recognition by industry and government.
