Occupational Safety & health, Disability Management/Return to Work
Service Provider Listings
The development of sound safety and health programs in the workplace leads to
fewer injuries, fewer claims to the Workers Compensation Board and lower costs for
everyone.
This Service/Service Provider Listing has been prepared by the Workers
Compensation Board of Manitoba and the Workplace Safety and Health Division of
the Department of Labour and Immigration to encourage employers and workers to
improve safety in their workplaces. It does this by providing a guide to various
organizations that offer workplace safety and health resources and/or services. The
listing provides assistance on where to go for help when dealing with various
workplace safety issues such as training, hazardous chemicals, WHMIS, etc.
Any workplace, regardless of size, can manage injuries in the workplace more
effectively using some basic principles. In its simplest term, “return to work” is
developing a way to meet the needs of ill or injured workers in order to bring them
back to health and work. The result? The development of a sound return to work
program can lead to a reduction in lost work time, maintaining productivity, a
reduction in the time between the onset and the worker’s safe return to work and a
reduction in the cost of disability – including WCB assessments.
The listing is divided into two sections as follows:
Section 1 – lists various safety & health and disability & return to work problems
together with those organizations (government, non-profit and private-sector
companies and consultants) which may be able to offer some assistance with a
particular issue. In most cases the organizations are based in Winnipeg but are
willing to provide services outside Winnipeg. Some have offices outside Winnipeg as
well, and others are based in other communities.
A number of organizations referenced in Section 1 charge on a “fee for service” basis.
Generally, organizations that charge fees for service do not do so for information in
advance, providing that long consultations or on-site visits are not involved.
-2-
Section 2 – provides information that will assist you to make contact with the
various organization listed in the first two sections.
The information provided, while as comprehensive as possible, is not necessarily a
complete list of all the various organizations providing some health and safety
assistance. To be included on this list, please contact the SAFE Work Services
Department of the Workers Compensation Board at 1-204-954-4501.
Note: Persons and companies are included in this listing on a voluntary basis. The
Workers Compensation Board of Manitoba does not approve, endorse or accept
responsibility for the use of any products or services offered for sale by the listed suppliers.
The listing is intended for information use only.
