Manitoba's Industry-Based Safety Programs

Industry-based safety programs (IBSP) provide relevant, customized services that respond to the diverse needs, hazards, and risks specific to an industry classification with in-depth understanding and targeted strategies to support safe, productive workplaces. These programs provide valuable services that make it easier for employers and employees to receive safety and health information, resources, and training tailored to the risks and hazards of their specific industry.

The Workers Compensation Board of Manitoba has recognized the value of IBSPs and is planning to increase the number of employers eligible to receive services from IBSPs.

To further these efforts, the Manitoba IBSP Council was created to enable existing and future IBSPs to focus on collaboration, coordination, and resource sharing. The Council aims to advance policies and strategies associated with workplace injury prevention, safe and early return to work, and effective operation of industry-based safety programs.
