What's inside
Everything a good manager keeps in the binder.
Everything you're expected to have in place for workplace health and safety, written in plain language and kept up to date for you.
-
Policies & programs
Violence & harassment and health & safety policies, adopted for your location. Staff can read them from a phone, and you can print a PDF whenever you need one.
-
Staff training
Short courses on violence & harassment and WHMIS that staff finish on their own phones. Every completion is recorded for you.
-
Monthly inspections
A walk-through checklist written for your kind of venue. Anything that fails gets a note and a follow-up. Hazards can be reported the moment someone spots one.
-
Safety committee
JHSC members, meeting minutes and recommendations in one place. Bowerbird tracks the 21-day deadline to respond to each recommendation so none slip.
-
A digital safety board
The posting board, online. Staff scan a QR code to see open safety items, the latest inspection and the latest committee meeting. Private notes are never shown.
-
Ready for an inspector
When the Ministry of Labour visits, produce one PDF with your policies, your latest inspection, your committee and your training record.
Harassment & violence complaints
When a complaint comes in, you're covered.
Staff can raise a complaint confidentially from the poster. You're notified right away, and you choose how it gets investigated.
-
Investigate it yourself
Step-by-step tools walk your team through it: notice letters, interview guides and a report template.
-
Hand it to us
Send it to our licensed investigator from the portal. The complaint and records go with it.
-
Keep the record
Either way, the findings and follow-up are saved to your location's file.
Who it's for
One portal, built around the people on shift.
Staff
A phone and two minutes
No app to install and no password to forget. Scan the poster to read a policy, finish a course or report a concern.
- Calm, plain-language forms
- Built to WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility standards
Managers
In and out in minutes
A personal access code opens the location's dashboard, which shows what's done, what's due and what needs a follow-up.
- Email and text reminders before things fall behind
- Posters ready to print, with a QR code
Owners
Every location at a glance
One login shows a compliance score for each location you own, and you can open any of them to see the detail.
- You choose who gets which reminders
- Works for independents and franchise locations
How it works
Set up once, then keep it up month by month.
-
Set up your location
A short guided setup covers your business details, the people who need access, and the policies you adopt.
-
Put up the poster
Print your location's poster. From then on, staff reach everything by scanning the QR code on it.
-
Keep it up month by month
Inspections, training and committee meetings are logged as they happen, and reminders go out before anything slips.
Bowerbird is on its way.
We're finishing the portal for Ontario hospitality businesses. This page will have more soon.
