When coal dust and methane
gas exploded in the southwest
section of the underground
Westray coal mine in
Plymouth, Nova Scotia, the
immediate effect was a
devastating fire, a blast that
ripped the roof off the mine
entrance and the death of 26
miners. But the May 9, 1992
explosion reverberated long
after that date.

Westray Mine Public Inquiry
Final report of the inquiry entitled
“The Westray Story – A Predictable
Path to Disaster” was released
December 1997 with 74
recommendations.
The report identified the following shortcomings:
 Failure of company officials to run a safe mine
 Failure of government departments to ensure that mine
plans were followed and regulations enforced
 Inspectors, mine development staff and government officials
were negligent
 Politicians were at fault
#10
Westray Mine Public Inquiry
The report renewed concerns about the
accountability of corporations and executives
and included the following recommendation:
“The Government of Canada should institute a study of the
accountability of corporate executives and directors for the
wrongful or negligent acts of the corporation and should
introduce such amendments to legislation to ensure that
corporate executives and directors are held properly
accountable for workplace safety.”
#11
Bill C-45
The Canadian Government enacted Bill C-45 on March 31,
2004 that amends the Criminal Code of Canada.
Key features of Bill C-45:
 Broadens the definition of “Organization” to include a public
body, corporate body, society, company, firm, partnership,
trade union, municipality or an association
 Broadens the definition of “representative” to include
director, partner, employee, member, agent or contractor
 Broadens the definition of “senior officer” to include any
representative who plays an important role in the
establishment of an organization’s policies or management
activities
#12
Bill C-45
The legislation broadly holds organizations,
senior officers and their representatives liable for
“offences of negligence” when acting within their
scope of responsibility and where there is a
proven negligent act or omission.
It holds organizations and their representatives
criminally liable for workplace health and safety.
The onus is on the senior officer to practice due
diligence and take all reasonable steps to protect
the worker and the public.
#13
Bill C-45
Health & Safety elements of Bill C-45 include:
 Holding corporate decision makers responsible for
health and safety
 Requiring them to take reasonable measures to
ensure safety
 Establishing a higher standard of care for
employees and the public
 Extending the responsibility to individuals who
direct work
 Providing specific powers to the courts including
probationary powers
#14
Corporate Social Responsibility is
not the latest bullet or business fad,
it is not a philanthropic idea. It is an
international imperative for both
business and the countries we are
operating in.
#15
Corporate Social Responsibility in a globalized
industrial world is about making the business
investment and the community promise
sustainable for the company and for the
communities we operate in, its people and
environment. It demands:




LEADERSHIP
INTEGRITY
RESPECT
RELATIONSHIPS
IT’S ABOUT RESPONSIBLE CITIZENSHIP
#16
Bill C-45 Makes the Case for an Integrated
Management System Approach
 Management is about the application of
organizational culture and resources to accomplish
a mission
 It is supported by organizational values, beliefs,
goals and objectives
 It flourishes where clear roles, responsibilities,
authorities and accountabilities are set out
 A management system is a framework in which
program activity is planned, implemented,
evaluated, improved, documented and verified
In terms of health and safety, a clearly defined, internationally
recognized management system standard does not exist
#17
Existing Management Systems
 British Standards Institution’s (BSI)
Occupational & Safety Assessment Series
18001
 International Labour Office - ILO 2001
Guidelines
 United States - ANSI Z 10 management system
for health and safety
 Mexico - IAPA’s Integrated Management
System
 Hong Kong - Safety Management Regulation
 Canada – Canadian Standards Association
developing a national standard

IAPA’s Integrated Management System (IMS)
for Health, Safety and the Environment
 IMS was developed to exceed management
system requirements of a wide variety of OHS
management systems, standards,
specifications and audit protocols
 It is a comprehensive continual improvement
system that assists in managing an
organization’s health, safety and
environmental needs

 The identification of organizational and
operational risks
 Managing the identified risks
 Managing change
 Building internal capacity towards selfreliance
 Improving and enhancing internal operations
 A regular cycle of client self-reflection and
evaluation
 Flexible (different levels of program
development in the core elements and the
four disciplines)
 Serves as an implementation model
In order to move the prevention
yardstick in health and safety, we
need to integrate moral, social,
economic and legal incentives.
Collectively they are motivators for
improvement.
The ultimate goal is to
utilize a judicious mix of
strategies leading to
sustainable cultural change
