Occupational Health and Safety Development Models


In the beginning
  •  Assumption of risk model- workers accepted the risk of the jobs they chose and protect themselves
  • Careless worker model-accidents were blamed on workers who didn't follow the safety rules.

 In the interim
“Shared responsibility” model-partnership of safety was developed:-
  •  Management commitment
  •  Informed workers 
  •  Consultations on safety
  • Trust relationships
  • Employee input on safety issues

 In the evolution
  • Federal Law
  • Provincial Law
  • Workplace Hazardous Material Information System
In the future
  • What will be key issues for H&S in the future?
