PERFORMANCE-BASED REQUIREMENTS FOR FIRST AID The Workers' Compensation Board of British Columbia (WCB) Occupational Health and Safety Regulations (OHSR) govern the health and safety of workers. These regulations contain legislative requirements that must be complied with at workplaces within the jurisdiction of the WCB. Of course, it is important that the regulations reflect the most current health and safety knowledge available based on technological advances, updated work practices and other relevant changes so that the paramount objective of protecting the health and well-being of workers is upheld. The Workers Compensation Act mandates that the WCB conducts regular reviews so that that this objective is continually met. The following article pertains to legislative requirements regarding Occupational First Aid, which will be in effect on March 31, 2004. Employers have 180 days after this time to comply with these new requirements. How does the above information translate into the workplace? That is, what does this mean for employers? Employers are now obligated to perform a risk assessment for each workplace. Specifically, an employer will be required to consider the following:
Using the risk assessment as a basis, the employer must then determine the appropriate control measures to be implemented. Control measures may include, but are not limited to, ensuring that adequate equipment, supplies and facilities are available in the workplace and first aid attendants and services are provided to enable prompt rendering of first aid and transporting of injured workers for treatment, if required. On March 28, 2004, Part 33 of the OHSR, previous Occupational First Aid requirements, will be repealed; in its place, recently approved regulations for Occupational First Aid will be available under Part 3 of the OHSR. For more information or assistance with implementing these amendments, please contact Hussein Jaffer at (604) 244-8101 extension 246, or by email at hjaffer@phhenv.com.

Feeding Edmonton's Inner City 
On Friday, January 23, 2004 employees of PHH Edmonton rolled up their sleeves to prepare and serve dinner to close to 300 of Edmonton's needy at the Mustard Seed. Wanting to give more to the community than a spaghetti dinner, PHH arranged a complete meal of perogies (complete with all the fixings), cabbage rolls, dinner buns, salad, cookies, juice, coffee and tea. Staff members at the Mustard Seed informed us that January is an especially hard time of the year for the inner city residents and the hot meal was very much appreciated! A HUGE thank you goes out to the companies and stores who donated food to this event: Urban Fare, Cookies By George, Heritage Frozen Foods, Save On Foods (109th & Calgary Trail locations), and ARAMARK Coffee. For information on the Mustard Seed: www.mustard.ab.ca. For more images, check out the PHH Foundation in our Company Profile section of our website here! |

Willows Beach is a popular local area located on Beach Drive by Dalhousie Street in Victoria, BC. The shoreline extends approximately one kilometer and consists of sandy beach dispersed with driftwood and grassy areas. It is prone to litter and wash-up debris. As a volunteer community service, the PHH Foundation did a shoreline clean-up on Friday, December 5, 2003. Garbage and debris were collected and disposed of to promote a clean and safe environment for people and wildlife alike.
