Accident Investigation and Reporting

ABC Landscaping is dedicated to the health and safety of all our employees and the environment. The JHSC will investigate all accidents involving serious injuries within seven days. A member of the JHSC will go out to the accident scene and investigate the incident, talk to employees, find hazards and fill out the Accident Investigating and Reporting Form. JHSC will follow up and make recommendations for corrective actions. They will notify WSIB of any type of injuries, lost time or not and fill out Form 7 and notify the MOL and MOE when needed.
