When workers are working alone, the OHS Code requires Corsafety.ca to:
conduct a hazard assessment to identify existing or potential safety hazards in the workplace associated with working alone;
- implement safety measures to reduce the risk to workers from the identified hazards;
- ensure that workers have an effective way of communicating with their employer, immediate supervisor or another designated person in case of an emergency situation; and
- ensure that workers are trained and educated so they can perform their job safely
Employees must establish an effective means of communication between the worker and the Corsafety.ca on-call staff.
- Employees must provide the answering service with the site supervisor's name and contact number, the worker's name and phone number and the worksite number and location.
- Employees must ensure the on-call supervisor has directions to the worksite.
