Thank you, Mr. Chair. This is the appropriate section. This is the section that that responsibility would fall under. The Department of Human Resources continues to lead the development of the GNWT Occupational Health and Safety Program. A work plan is currently being developed to improve health and safety practices within the GNWTworkplace.
Ultimately every department is responsible for their own occupational health and safety plan or program. We provide guidance and advice on what works in other jurisdictions as well as what works
well within some of the departments within the Government of the Northwest Territories. We’ve had, as a government, pretty good uptake in some departments. Some departments are still a little behind and still working on that, but yes, this is the section that is responsible for assisting the departments.
