Health & Safety
CME Ontario – Health and Safety Excellence Program (HSEP)

OVERVIEW - MAKING YOUR WORKPLACE SAFER
A strong safety track record not only lowers cost, improves operational efficiency, and supports legal compliance but also drives retention, boosts employee satisfaction, and a host of other business KPIs. Safety sells itself.
The Health and Safety Excellence Program is a WSIB performance-based recognition program designed to provide a clear roadmap for Ontario businesses to improve workplace health and safety.
Over the past year, CME HSEP members have received $1.8 million back in rebates.
As an approved provider of the Health and Safety Excellence Program and a founding sponsor of the old WSIB Safety Group Program, and now the new Health and Safety Excellence Program since 2000, CME can help your organization build a health and safety program that will make all employees’ lives safer and as a bonus save you money.
