Standards Council of Canada

Standards impact many aspects of our professional and private lives. In the province of Ontario, within occupational health and safety, we have begun leveraging training standards such as Working at Heights and Joint Health and Safety Committee training, as well as management system standards such as COR® and ISO 45001, to help establish a high level of consistency. In this episode of the IHSA Safety Podcast, we are joined by Elias Rafoul, Vice-President of Accreditation Services at the Standards Council of Canada.The Standards Council of Canada, established more than 50 years ago, is a unique organization that oversees both standards and accreditation, ensuring that programs align with national values and promote inclusion and diversity. There are standards for everything, and Elias provides valuable information on topics such as:-       The Standards' history-       How the Standards promotes Canadian innovators-       The benefits of having a workplace management system in a business-       The many accreditation programs the Standards providesFree Resources:Standards Council of Canada websiteStandards Council of Canada LinkedIn pageInternational Accreditation Forum (IAF) websiteISO - International Organization for StandardizationSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
