264A: Workplace injury prevention action plan

You could also call this:

"A plan to stop people from getting hurt at work"

The Corporation and WorkSafe need to have a plan to prevent injuries at work. This plan is called the workplace injury prevention action plan. They can change this plan whenever they need to, but they must look at it and update it at least once every three years.

The plan needs to include all the programmes that the Corporation and WorkSafe will do to prevent workplace injuries. It must say how these programmes will be paid for. If one group is using money from the other group, the plan needs to say how much money that is.

The parts of the plan that WorkSafe does must fit with the Health and Safety at Work Strategy. The parts that the Corporation does must match what the Corporation thinks is important for preventing injuries related to work.

The Corporation and WorkSafe need to make sure their plan makes sense. They should not do the same things twice. They should decide who is best to do each programme. The programmes in the plan should work well with other things they do, like teaching people about safety and making sure rules are followed.
