IHSA video safety talk
The internal responsibility system (IRS) is a key part of workplace safety. It means that everyone at work shares the responsibility for keeping the workplace safe and healthy. The IRS is part of the law under the Occupational Health and Safety Act, and it gives each person, whether they're a worker, supervisor, or employer, a clear role in preventing injuries and creating a strong safety culture.
In this safety talk video, we explain what the IRS is, how it works, and why it matters.
