May 4, 2018 – Keeping Up To Date on CSA Standards
Spring into Action and check out these new OHS Standards!
New OHS standards in the “suite of standards” under CSA Z1000:Incident Investigation (CSA Z1005) and Emergency and Continuity Management (CSA Z1600).
Presented by Corporate Health Works, Norma McCormick:President
What is being presented?
There are two new CSA OHS standards which will be of interest to IPAM members. The first edition of CSA Z1005 – 17 Incident Investigation, which sets out prevention principles and requirements to determine causes and to prevent work-related incidents.
The second standard is the third edition of CSA Z1600, Emergency and continuity management program.
Why should you attend?
- Broad acceptance and implementation of CSA’s OHS standards leads to the effective identification and elimination of workplace hazards, the assessment and control of risks, improved regulatory compliance and demonstration of due diligence.
- Continual improvement of OHS programs and procedures leading to reductions in the frequency and severity of incidents and the associated financial and human costs.
- CSA Z1000 and the suite of health and safety standards represent a unique and valuable approach to managing various aspects of a comprehensive program, necessary to meet the regulatory requirements.

Balancing Safety with Other Legal Obligations in Today’s Workplace
You don’t want to miss this! Listen to practical advice on important safety issue management.
In order to maintain a safe workplace and show due diligence, sometimes employees may need to be disciplined when they break safety rules. When should that discipline for a safety infraction mean termination of employment? What happens if an employer gets it wrong and terminates when they shouldn’t? What happens when there are human rights issues raised as the reason a safety rule can’t be followed? This session will provide practical advice on when to discipline, when to terminate, and how to do so in such a way as to limit liability for wrongful terminations, all while balancing human rights obligations.
What knowledge will I gain?
- When and how to apply the principles of progressive discipline
- How to recognize human rights issues and how to balance human rights with safety
- How to discipline employees and terminate employees legally
Who should attend?
Occupational Health and Safety Professionals, Human Resource Professionals, Disability Management Professionals, Senior and General Managers, Supervisors
