The purpose of this checklist is to give health and community service organizations an opportunity to review the characteristics of their health and safety systems and programs. This is a general assessment tool, not an exhaustive list. The tool is designed to assist you to proactively identify and improve gaps in your health and safety program. 

OSACH recommends a collaborative approach, with management and the joint health and safety committee and/or health and safety representatives participating in the organizational review of the existing program and systems. 

The checklist is divided into five categories: 

  • leadership
  • hazard identification
  • risk management
  • knowledge of health and safety
  • organizational safety culture, and
  • the health and safety program. 

Each category identifies key elements with a reference to applicable legislation and standards; OSACH products and services; and recommendations to comply with each element. 

To assist in the completion of this self-assessment checklist, OSACH recommends the review team obtain a copy of the following pieces of legislation. Click the links to access them on-line:
