Hi Jon,

A workplace injury, a ministry inspection, a compliance complaint. None of these things announce themselves in advance. They just happen — and when they do, the cost to employers who weren't prepared can be significant.

I've spent 30 years in HR and employment law, and I can tell you that health and safety compliance is one of the areas where I see even solid, well-run organizations have real gaps. Not because they don't care — but because the requirements are more detailed than most people realize, and the common mistakes are surprisingly consistent.

That's why Jennifer Threndyle — our Health and Safety Advisor here at HR Covered — and I are hosting a practical session specifically for employers like you.

We'll walk through:
✅ Your duties as an employer under OHS legislation
✅ The policies, programs, and documentation you're required to have in place
✅ Health and safety training requirements
✅ The compliance gaps that most commonly trigger inspections, orders, or penalties
✅ What you should have in place before an incident occurs — not after
As an HR Covered member, you have the tools and support to stay ahead of this. This session will help you confirm you're using them in the right places — and flag anything worth tightening up.

This session is designed to help employers evaluate whether their current benefits offering remains competitive, effective, and aligned with workforce expectations.
