In today’s modern workplace the word ‘discipline’ typically carries a very negative connotation. It is not out of the ordinary for Employer’s to “turn a blind eye” or give an employee ‘just a talking to” when faced with safety violations. Unfortunately, these Employers fail to recognize they have legal obligations to ensure a safe workplace including that all safety rules be followed. Discipline and progressive discipline are important Management tools that must be used in order to enforce the Employer’s obligations under federal and provincial/state OH&S law. Even if all of the other elements of a due diligence defence can be demonstrated in court (i.e. formal risk assessments, documented safety meetings, documented training program etc.), lack of ongoing enforcement of the system is treated as a lack of complete due diligence and the defence will fail on this ground. See attached article for more information.
At CANSCOTT we understand how important due diligence is. Also, we understand how important it is for our Clients to have Supervisors/Superintendents/Managers who clearly understand their rights, roles and responsibilities under OH&S / Environmental law.
Check out our ‘Safety Program’ or the ‘Industrial Supervisor’ program for training that carefully covers the topics of ‘Due Diligence’ & ‘Discipline / Progressive Discipline’ on canscott.com.

We are excited to introduce our new virtual training & coaching studio called virtual-CANSCOTT©. This allows us to deliver our services virtually using cutting-edge software & hardware.
Q: How does virtual-CANSCOTT© work? Different than (e.g. a typical work Zoom meeting) where folks logon via their work/personal PC, participants will gather in smaller groups (i.e. to allow for proper social distancing) in a boardroom-style setting and attend the all-day session by watching/listening/interacting directly with the instructor.
Q: Is on-line E-Learning the same as virtual? NO. E-Learning uses a mix of text audio/video (i.e. think of an individual ‘clicking’ through on-line PowerPoint slides) whereby virtual-CANSCOTT© is real time instructor-led training in a virtual classroom; exactly the same as in-person training just done virtually.
