pandemic, the importance of a safe
and healthy workplace has never
been more vital. In 2020, a total of
745 people were trained through the
program, mainly through a virtual
approach due to the pandemic.
"To say the least, the last year-and-a-half
has been challenging. The pandemic
forced us to pivot," Dolyniuk says.
"Training used to be all personal
interaction. We moved almost
everything online, using virtual
applications such as Zoom and Teams."
Not only did most training programs
change to online platforms, Dolyniuk
says one of the biggest challenges was
ensuring everyone had accurate, up-to-
date information.
"There was a lot of misinformation
during the pandemic, and there still
is," he says. "We have worked hard
to ensure that the right information
is getting to the right people, so
employees are healthy and safe."
The RPM program is proving to be
effective, since SAFE Work Certified
companies report 42 per cent lower total
injury rates and 37 per cent lower injury
costs per worker from WCB claims. In
addition, 49 per cent fewer days are
missed due to injuries.
For employees at certified companies,
they are generally more engaged and
feel safer in their workplace.
There's no rush to complete the
components, since companies can work
at their own pace to achieve the RPM
certification, and there are no additional
charges for any training.
As an added benefit, RPM offers safety
advisory services to support member
companies — and even those that are
working towards the certification. In
addition, RPM advisors now offer indoor
air quality testing and noise studies for
registered companies as a free service to
help identify problem areas.
