Psychological Health and Safety

Western Health recognizes the importance of psychological health and safety as a key component to creating and sustaining a productive, effective and healthy workforce. As such the organization committed to “Enhance work life culture through the introduction and continuation of programs and initiatives to align with the national standard for Psychological Health and Safety in the Workplace” making this an operation goal for 2014 – 2017. To further support this goal the organization has committed to the adoption and implementation of CSA standard Z1003 on Psychological Health and Safety in the Workplace. We have successfully integrated psychological health and safety into our Occupational Health and Safety program by engaging multiple stakeholders including OH&S Committees, Union Representatives, employees and managers.
