Clinic Health and Safety Assessments

SWITCH BC is ready to support you in developing a health and safety program for your clinic. Areas of focus might include incident response, managing risks, non-medical emergency preparedness, worker training, and preventing violence.

The ask of you:

A phone or virtual meeting with the Community Physician Health and Safety (CPHS) program team to assess your current state before onsite support and follow-up.

The offer to you:

We’ll work with you, your office staff, or designate, on health and safety needs unique to your clinic. There is no cost associated.

The benefits:

• Creating healthier and safer workplaces.
• Ensuring WorkSafeBC regulations are met.
• Improving team communication.
• Managing health and safety events effectively.

Please email CPHS@switchbc.ca to set up a discovery meeting.

Hear from clinics who have already collaborated with SWITCH BC on a health and safety assessment:

The program was really helpful for us.  The assessment itself was thorough, and the team was very congenial.  They gave us a great report on both things we were doing well, but also things we could work on to improve over time.  It was a good reminder about some things we may have already known, but gotten a bit lax on implementing, as well as things we didn’t have at top of mind. They also gave us some practical tools/guides.  It hasn’t caused us a lot more work, and I believe we are a better employer as a result.
