In addition, all regulatory updates can be provided for a small monthly fee. More about IMS Document Management...

Why Does Our Company Need an IMS Health and Safety Manual?

A well-maintained, comprehensive, and up-to date Health and Safety Manual (HSM) serves as an organizational framework through which the rules, policies, procedures, and practices of an organization can be managed effectively.  It is also Workplace Health & Safety requirement and a requirement for voluntary accreditations and partnerships, which save companies money and increase business opportunities. Such accreditations and partnerships include SECOR, COR, ISN Networld for industries such as Construction, Hospitality, Forestry, Transport, and Manufacturing, and IRP 16 and Canadian HSE for the Oil and Gas industry. An effective Health and Safety Manual may also significantly reduce Workers' Compensation Board (WCB) premiums.

Construction of a Health and Safety Manual that speaks to the diverse needs of an organization and addresses the ever-changing nature of regulations, codes, industry recognized practices, and regulatory interpretations is no easy task. In addition, to serve as an organizational framework, a health and safety program must integrate a Management of Change process.

The IMS Health and Safety Manual offers a viable solution to all of these challenges. It reflects the latest interpretations of federal, provincial, and municipal regulations, codes, and industry accepted practices. The IMS Health and Safety Manual is constructed in weeks as opposed to months, is economical, and perhaps most importantly, it incorporates an established and tested Management of Change process.
