The Safety Groups Program — Overview
Improving workplace safety is easier if you can learn from other firms' experience and knowledge. The Safety Groups Program provides you with a network of firms who share the common goal of reducing injuries and illnesses. Together, safety group members pool resources, share best practices and help each other develop and manage effective health and safety programs. Along with improving workplace safety, you can reduce your WSIB premiums and earn financial rebates.
The Safety Groups Program began as a three-year trial in 2000 and due to its success became an ongoing prevention program in July 2002. In 2006, Retail Council of Canada (RCC) formed a retail-specific safety group and agreed to facilitate the program as the official sponsor. In the first year, 18 retailers, representing more than 3,000 stores, participated in RCC's Retail Safety Group.
