FOOD FOR THOUGHT - Social Media Policy in the Workplace

What Is a Social Media Policy?

A social media policy is a code-of-conduct policy created for employees posting on social media, either as part of their job or in their personal capacity. This is especially important in marketing companies or where online posting is a part of the company’s day-to-day activities. Moreover, a social media policy is always advisable to manage a company’s reputational risk.

However, a good, up-to-date social media policy does more than mitigate risk. It also sets your employees up for success, giving them guidance on how and where to share posts, and etiquette to follow.

Did You Know?

On the 15th of February 2022, The Code of Practice: Managing Exposure to SARS-CoV-2 in the Workplace (the Code) came into effect.

This Code is a guideline in interpreting ‘an employment law’ (including the Occupational Health and Safety Act). This Code also supports the original Occupational Health and Safety Direction with regards to vaccination policies.

The Code provides that every employer must undertake a risk assessment to give effect to its obligations under the OHSA and the Hazardous Biological Agents (HBA) Regulations, and on the basis of the risk assessment, develop a plan to include, inter alia, any measures to be implemented in respect of the vaccination of its employees (including the date by which the employees must be fully vaccinated).

Therefore, the OHSA, read with the HBA Regulations and supported by the Code, provides the legal basis for an employer to implement a vaccination requirement at the workplace, where this is deemed to be a reasonably practicable control measure.

Whether a vaccination requirement is, in fact, a reasonably practicable control measure will depend on the circumstances, based on the employer’s risk assessment.

Fun Fact Friday

The Occupational Health and Safety Act provides clear and concise responsibilities for contractors to follow, and the rights that their clients have in terms of the contractor’s responsibilities.

Where the client identifies unsafe working conditions, the client may request the contractor to correct these conditions, and also reserves the right to require the removal, from the project, any person, property, or equipment, which is deemed unsafe in the opinion of the client.

If the contractor’s negligence or non-compliance with occupation health and safety regulations have resulted in penalties, costs, expenses, or any obligations to be paid or incurred as a result, the contractor will be held liable.

If you are a contractor who may be concerned about your responsibilities under the Occupational Health and Safety Act, give drop us an email.
