Description

This report summarizes the results of a 2017 study of the occupational health and safety experiences of 2,000 workers in Alberta. The purpose was to pilot and benchmark potential performance measures for the internal responsibility system (IRS) and identify which measures are associated with injury rates. The study also aimed to determine the degree to which workers are able to exercise their safety rights under the IRS. An internal responsibility system is a way of sharing responsibility for health and safety between everyone in a workplace. The basic logic of the IRS is that workplace parties are best placed to identify and control hazards and have a common interest in doing do. For this reason, self-regulation is expected to be an effective way to reduce hazard exposures and, ultimately, injuries.
