Safety Groups Program Certificate

The Safety Groups Program is a Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB) incentive program to recognize organizations that integrate injury prevention into their management systems. Since 2003, The Ottawa Hospital has participated annually in a Safety Group sponsored by the Ontario Hospital Association. Successful completion of the program consists of creating and implementing an action plan for selected health and safety program elements, including a Health and Safety Management System (HSMS) audit, while attending sponsor networking and workshop meetings with other health-care organizations in our Safety Group throughout the annual program cycle.
