What’s new at www.iwh.on.ca

A free, user-friendly tool that helps workplaces calculate the benefits and costs of health and safety programs is now online.

Developed by IWH staff, the Health & Safety Smart Planner includes the following features:

  • A step-by-step approach
  • Pre-planning information to help you get organized before you begin
  • Pop-up buttons that explain each field as you enter your data
  • A database to store and update your company’s information

Although this first version is designed for most types of workplaces in Ontario, other iterations — including one for the health-care sector — will be available soon.

Users are being asked to sign in first to download it so we can let you know when new versions become available. Download the tool from: www.iwh.on.ca/smart-planner.
