Bio

Mike is a workplace health and safety consultant with WorkBright™. Prior to joining WorkBright™, Mike spent over a decade working with one of Ontario’s largest provincial health and safety associations. During this time he led groups consisting of the Ministry of Labour, associations, employers, and unions to collectively address health and safety issues within the construction, transportation, and utilities industries. He led industry consultations on amendments to health and safety legislation for workplace noise, carbon monoxide, and chemical exposures to workers, and was key in developing health and safety guidance documents, training, and communications accessed by thousands of workplaces across Ontario.

Mike is also an occupational hygienist. He has consulted and worked directly with businesses, HR professionals, and Joint Health and Safety Committees to reduce risk and avoid compliance issues associated with many different workplace hazards. He teaches in the health and safety certificate program at Metropolitan Toronto University (formerly Ryerson) and volunteers with the Board of Canadian Registered Safety Professionals to assess candidate applications for certification.

Mike is known to be an effective communicator with his audiences, taking complex matters and effectively communicating what is relevant in simple and practical terms.

Useful resources for managing health and safety - The first 3 months on the job

Many growing companies come to a point in time when health and safety needs to be managed more effectively and with more purpose. This role may be assigned to the HR professional and there can be a lot to learn.

In this presentation, you will learn 5 things you can do in the first 3 months on the job to help you succeed in managing health and safety more effectively and efficiently.

Managing your Joint Health and Safety Committee

In many companies, the HR professional is responsible for managing the Joint Health and Safety Committee (JHSC). A JHSC has many obligations. They must inspect the workplace, investigate incidents, and meet at least every three months among other things. But often, many committees struggle with carrying out their basic functions effectively because they are not engaged or are not familiar with how to carry out these tasks.

In this presentation, you will learn about the ways to more effectively and efficiently manage your company's JHSC. This will help your company meet its legal obligations, help reduce the risk of an incident happening in your workplace, and can give you more time to focus on other responsibilities of your job.
