Thomson Carswell (www.carswell.com), Canada’s leading provider of specialized information and electronic research solutions to the legal, tax, finance, accounting, and human resources markets, announces the launch of SafetySource.
Beginning with the ABCs of Health & Safety, SafetySource provides the tools, policies, and best practices to help any organization create a workplace safety culture where everyone understands and practices safe work procedures. Combining searchable legislation, a thorough topical caselaw collection, and expert commentary, SafetySource is the only online solution available to help Health & Safety professionals understand the law by seeing it in action, and then put it in place using tried and tested best practices example.
A unique feature of SafetySource is the Safety Audit Toolkit that allows an organization to measure its performance against best practice standards in six key areas – the Occupational Health and Safety System, Employee Involvement, Hazard Identification, Hazard Controls, Monitoring and Evaluation, and Significant Special Hazards. The audit report includes an action plan with suggestions for each problem identified in the assessment.
“SafetySource offers a complete collection of best practices, policies and procedures that are easily integrated into a wide variety of work environments,” said Bob Freeman, Vice President, Strategic Market Groups, Thomson Carswell. “Moreover, SafetySource not only presents the legal requirements for creating and maintaining a safe workplace, but provides easy to understand explanations and expert commentary that will help any Health & Safety professional build a safe workplace. SafetySource commentary provides answers to key questions - ‘What is the legislation?’, ‘Does it apply to my organization?’, and ‘What do I have to do?’, and gives you the tools you need to implement best practices in your workplace.”
“We are excited to bring this important new workflow tool to the health and safety community,” said Don Van Meer, President and CEO, Thomson Carswell. “SafetySource reduces the time spent from identifying a workplace hazard to implementing a legally compliant best practice solution, filling a need that no other product in Canada currently addresses.”
SafetySource is an excellent complement to any existing safety management software and is compatible with government sponsored safety audit programs. For more information, visit www.safetysourceonline.ca.
