The following content pieces explore a variety of topics which outline what EHS leaders and C-suite executives were focused on this year. We have collected our top 5 performing pieces in 2022 to help you protect your people and create a safer work environment. 

Without further ado, let’s jump in! 

1. Management’s Guide to Behavior-Based Safety – Whitepaper

Our most downloaded piece was a whitepaper titled, Management’s Guide to Behavior-Based Safety. This whitepaper detailed how behavior-based safety observations can help you get to the root cause of deficiencies or nonconformances which may be taking place on-site. They can also help you stay proactive to get ahead of incidents before they occur.  

Mitigate possible hazards and risks present on site with some helpful tips found in this whitepaper, including: 

• The identification and analysis of consequences pertaining to actions taken on site 
• Three ways to put behavior-based safety into action right now 
• How to use a formal corrective action process to encourage safe behaviors 

2. The Difference Between a Hazard Assessment and a Risk Assessment: What Most Organizations Get Wrong – Guide 

Another popular piece was The Difference Between a Hazard Assessment and Risk Assessment: What Most Organizations Get Wrong.  

Though this is one of the most fundamental elements of health and safety, it is often misunderstood. A hazard can be defined as anything which could result in a loss or damage to property, people, or the environment. A risk can be described as how likely an employee will be faced with a hazard. Only once this subtle difference is understood, can you effectively carry out a hazard and risk assessment.

In April, the Government of Ontario passed Bill 88 which included increases to penalties and fines under the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA). As of July 1st this year, fines rose to a maximum of $1.5 million for directors and officers and up to $500,000 for workers or supervisors.

4. EHS Management Continuous Improvement Guide – Guide 

Another top performer was our EHS Management Continuous Improvement Guide. This guide covers how continuous improvement can help your organization’s safety program evolve and grow stronger. This involves the Plan, Do, Check, Act Cycle which can help you assess your safety management system, as well as its individual components.  

• The first step of the cycle is Plan: This entails identifying objectives, reviewing resources you already have or need, and mapping out processes which need to be in place.  
• The second step is Do: This is the part where key stakeholders do everything that was outlined in the plan process. 
• The third step is Check: This is where key stakeholders check how well they implemented their original plan and measure its performance. 
• The final step is Act: This is when you can identify gaps which were uncovered during the check process and put the necessary actions in place to rectify them.
