How many of you had
“FUN”
with understanding
and complying
with Bill 168 on
Workplace Violence?
Just
wait………

Soon to be released CSA Standard on Psychological Health & Safety in the
Workplace
A CSA standard has been
developed, setting out
optimistic goals and
processes for achieving
“psychological health and
safety” in the workplace.
![Page 13: What’s Happening in Health & Safety in Ontario Presented by Keith Lamson “Safetydude”](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551acdb85503466b6a8b52d8/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
“Voluntary Standard”
Accepted as best practice
Could be enforced through General Duty Clause in
extreme cases
Once you develop a formal Policy can be enforced or
used against organization if not met
![Page 14: What’s Happening in Health & Safety in Ontario Presented by Keith Lamson “Safetydude”](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551acdb85503466b6a8b52d8/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
“Workplace not always part of the problem,
but can always be part of the solution”
Goal is too look at Organizational issues not personal
ones.
EAP programs, Good HR Management Practises
are a must
Above and beyond the scope and abilities
of the average H&S Department

Immediately opens the door for:
• Third Party Benefits carriers to deny
mental stress claims as being “work related”
• Reduce burden for WSIB accepted stress claims

The Divisional Court confirms that
Employers and Contractors are required
to report a critical injury or fatality
suffered by a non-worker in the
"workplace" to the Ministry of Labour
Do you report
Serious
Customer
Accidents
to the MOL?

A worker takes a bet and for the sum of $100
staples his genital area to a 4x4 wooden plank in
the workplace lunchroom. Through the wonders of
modern technology this is recorded. A co-worker
posts this on the Internet.
He did what ?
![Page 19: What’s Happening in Health & Safety in Ontario Presented by Keith Lamson “Safetydude”](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551acdb85503466b6a8b52d8/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
The consequence:
The worker is discharged upon discovery by the
employer. The Ontario Labour Relations Board
upholds the discharge. The board states in
discussing the movie, “[i]f the…employees want
to emulate the principals of Jackass by self-
abuse, they may be free to do so when they are
not on the [workplace] premises and cannot be
identified as being associated with the
[employer].

Criminal
Negligence
Case“in contrast to proceedings under health and safety legislation, there is no due diligence defence to criminal negligence”
“should a person be injured or killed by the criminally negligent behaviour of a senior officer of the organization, the organization could be convicted regardless of the extent of any positive steps taken.”

Barton v. Rona Ontario
Judge Lauwers did not find fault for terminating Mr. Barton’s employment for its own business reasons but doing so is a breach of contract which Mr. Barton was entitled to damages for wrongful dismissal.
In this case, the failure to provide a warning to Mr. Barton was indeed fatal to a finding of just cause for dismissal. The judge suggested that the option of discipline short of termination should have in fact been utilized.
