How do HR and health and safety obligations overlap in Ontario?
Several Ontario obligations sit across both functions: workplace violence and harassment programs are required under the OHSA but are administered as HR policy, WSIB claims depend on employment records, and training compliance is tracked against roles that HR defines. Splitting the two across separate providers is where obligations are commonly missed.
What the engagement covers
- Workplace violence and harassment program
- Employment policy and handbook development
- Records and documentation that support WSIB claims
- Onboarding aligned to the training every role requires
Who this is for
Employers without a dedicated HR function, or with one that is carrying compliance it was never resourced for.
