WCB Safety Certified Audits

OHES is an approved audit provider with the WCB. Safety Certified accreditation is issued to companies who have passed an independent audit of their health and safety management systems. Workplaces are measured across 22 elements including management commitment, training, inspections, hazard assessments, safe work practices and procedures. Being WCB Safety Certified shows you have an effective system in place to prevent worker injury.

WCB Nova Scotia encourages employers to demonstrate leadership and commitment to workplace health and safety by becoming WCB Safety Certified. A WCB Safety Certified accreditation is issued to companies who have passed an audit of their health and safety management system, and shows your employees, your customers, and the province that your business takes safety seriously. 

Program Benefits

Improve workplace health and safety

Effective health and safety management systems are one of the best ways to reduce workplace injuries. By having these programs in place, you are showing your workers you care about their safety, being WCB Safety Certified is a visible demonstration of your company’s commitment to workplace health and safety. At the same time, eliminating the social and financial effects of workplace injuries can strengthen your business. 

Attract new business and employees

Increasingly, more and more organizations want to do business with companies they know take safety seriously. Companies who want to bid on any work for the Government of Nova Scotia, particularly construction work for the Department of Public Works, are required to have WCB Safety Certified accreditation. 

In recent years, several other major companies, universities, and municipalities have adopted this requirement as part of their tendering processes.

People seeking employment are also drawn to companies that show they care about their workers’ safety.  An active and effective health and safety management system can be a great benefit to your recruitment and retention efforts.
