Upcoming NEER Statement and MOL Blitzes

Here are some updates from MOL and WSIB you should be aware of this fall:

• The WSIB is in the process of preparing your September NEER Financial statement, which will arrive in mid-November. The NEER statement will indicate if you’re in a surcharge or rebate.
• MOL drop-in-blitzes are happening right now and will continue through the balance of 2013. Inspectors are visiting companies that are experiencing repetitive strain or musculoskeletal injuries; that means back strains, carpel tunnel and similar RSI injuries. They will look at ergonomic issues and controls.
• Lastly, but not least, MOL inspectors will be spot-checking warehouse and logistics companies; checking on forklift maintenance, lift operation, warehouse safety, JHSC meetings and inspections, racking, management due diligence, etc.

Questions for you to consider:

• Do you know if you are in a surcharge or rebate and for how much? Are you prepared to deal with a surcharge?  Would it benefit your company to know now so you can either start accruing for it, or determine action plans to reduce the potential surcharge?
• Have your employees experienced repetitive strain or musculoskeletal injuries? What if MOL decides to visit your facility?
• If you run a warehouse or a logistics company, do you know what regulations apply to you? Will you be able to support it with proper documentation when MOL inspectors do a spotcheck?
