For employers with 10 employees or less, how is an HSMS evaluated?

For employers with 10 employees or fewer, the best method for evaluating a Health and Safety Management System (HSMS) is through the Small Employer Certificate of Recognition (SECOR). SECOR is designed specifically for smaller employers who may not have the same resources as larger organizations.

This approach allows these smaller companies to develop and evaluate their safety management frameworks effectively, ensuring compliance and the establishment of safety protocols. Since SECOR focuses on assisting smaller employers in identifying and managing their health and safety responsibilities, it provides a tailored evaluation process that meets their specific needs. This enables them to achieve recognition for their health and safety efforts while promoting a culture of safety in their workplaces.

This option emphasizes their operational realities and helps ensure that even the smallest workplaces are equipped with adequate health and safety measures.
