We An-Ser Communications recommends that companies who hire workers for remote jobs review rules, regulations and policies for their remote workers.

REGINA, SK, CANADA, June 16, 2015 /EINPresswire.com/ -- We An-Ser Communications recommends that companies who hire workers for remote jobs review rules, regulations and policies for their remote workers. This ensures that the business is compliant with provincial laws as well as federal laws and is meeting its obligations to the employees.

One way to review this information is by visiting the Government of Canada website for workplace health and safety. The section for employers outlines their responsibilities for providing information, training and support as well as detailing investigations and inspections that will be conducted. Employers can also learn about the process of reporting accidents.

Companies can also visit the government websites of their local provinces to find out about local regulations based on where the business is located. Because it is the employer’s responsibility to stay updated on the latest regulations and laws concerning workplace safety, it is important to review any changes.

While workplace safety for employees should be a top concern of any business operating in Canada, companies with remote workers have unique issues. Many of these workers are alone and cannot be seen or heard by other workers or may not have the assistance available if needed. Workers who fall under the lone worker category have five situations that may increase their risks. This includes the worker who handles money such as store clerks in remote locations, workers who travel to meet clients, workers who perform hazardous tasks, workers who travel alone from one site to another and workers who have a higher risk of violence because they are in unsafe areas with no public views.

We An-Ser Communications understands the unique needs of companies with lone workers. They offer a solution by providing monitoring services so that employees are never alone and can receive help when it is needed. “We understand that every situation is unique,” says Ashley Maszaros of We An-Ser Communications. “We provide solutions that are just as unique to the business to assist them in keeping their employees safe.”

Employers can take steps to ensure their workers’ safety in remote situations or when they must work alone. They should always assess the hazards of the job and workplace and take precautions. They should ensure that the worker understands the job and discuss possible solutions to problems that can be encountered. Employers should also take steps to minimize and prevent risks whenever possible, including incorporating the buddy system or establishing a check-in procedure.

Employers can also schedule high-risk tasks during regular business hours and require the employee to check in when the task is complete. Setting up a video security system also provides additional support for lone workers. Enlisting the services of a monitoring company such as We An-Ser Communications provides support for workers who are alone. The company provides services 24 hours a day for companies in many industries, including medical, oil and gas, and construction to help keep workers safe and assist employers in meeting their obligations for workplace safety.
