Your specific PRIME Practice Incentive requirements depend on the size of your organization. To determine your category for the purposes of PRIME, you need to know:
- How many workers (including all managers, non-managers and owners/operators) are at each of theorganization’s workplaces
- How much the organization pays to the Commission in average base assessments (workers’ compensation insurance premiums)
First you must determine if you are provincially or federally regulated
Your specific occupational health and safety requirements may vary depending on if your organization is provincially or federally regulated.
Newfoundland and Labrador’s Occupational Health and Safety Act is the statute of law that regulates occupational health and safety in most workplaces throughout the province.
The Canada Labour Code Part II is a federal law that regulates certain industries in the province, including: all federal government crown agencies; transportation (by air, water and road); telecommunications (radio, TV, cable, telephone); airports; shipping; and banks. If your company operates in the above industries, you fall under federal regulation in relation to occupational health and safety. For information on federal regulations, call the Labour Program, Human Resources and Skills Development Canada, at 709-772-5022.
