- Provide a treatment and rehabilitation plan that ensures a safe, early and durable return to work

- Ensure all employees are aware of the hazards in their work area and are adequately trained to enable them to perform their duties in a safe manner
- Encourage employee consultation and participation in all matters relating to health and safety
- Promote a system of continuous improvement – this includes reviewing policies and procedures each year Every manager, supervisor or foreperson has a responsibility for the health and safety of employees working under their direction.
