Why Safety? 1 is employee safety

• Bill C-45 (Westray Mine)
• Essential Elements of Bill C-45
• Holds corporate decision makers responsible for
  Health and Safety
• They must take reasonable measures to ensure
  safety
• Establishes a higher standard of care for
  employees and the public.
• Lowers the threshold for a corporation to be
  charged and convicted.
• Extends the responsibility to individuals who
  direct work.

Bill C-45 The Major Changes

• Creates a legal duty to ensure safety
• Elevates the the penalty
• Requirement to prevent bodily harm.
• Casts a larger net to cover all persons that may
  be affected by work done (i.e. the
• public)
• High expectation regarding prevention
• Broader definitions - a company representative
  can be director, partner, employee, member,
  agent, contractor. If the representative commits
  a serious Occupational Health and Safety
  offensethe organization individual can be
  charged with Criminal Negligence.
• Fines increased from 25,00 - 100,000 per
  offence

Powers of the Courts

• More sentencing considerations such as
• Review of company assets.
• Cost of the investigation and prosecution can be
  assigned.
• Courts can set the terms of probation i.e.
  restitution, publication, require
  establishment of policies and procedures to
  reduce risks and reduce the likelihood of
  further criminal acts, and communication of these
  policies to employees.
• Identify a senior officer to be responsible for
  compliance with probation orders. Require
  progress reports.

6
Due Diligence

• What constitutes due diligence will depend on the
  circumstances of each case. Generally, the
  employer can establish due diligence by
  demonstrating they developed a proper system to
  prevent the commission of the offence. Courts
  examine if the employer has considered facts such
  as
• Appointed appropriate and sufficient supervisor
  staff
• Reviewed foreseeable workplace health and safety
  risks
• Developed policies and procedures to prevent
  harm from
  potential risks
• Implement and maintain disciplinary guidelines
• Receive regular reports on health and safety
  programs
