COVID: Business Manager Update (PDF)

On April 28, the Day of Mourning, we pay respect to the workers who have lost their lives and their loved ones in workplace fatalities, and those who have been injured or become ill because of their work.

As members of Ontario’s Prevention Council, our role is to ensure our industries and our government continue to make the elimination of occupational illnesses, injuries and fatalities a top priority.

As leaders in occupational health and safety, we know the way to keep improving workplace safety is through training, awareness, building strong internal responsibility systems (IRS) and wholeheartedly committing to occupational health and safety in every sector, for every task, every day.

This year, as we face the unprecedented challenges brought on by the COVID-19 outbreak, worker safety is more important than ever. Those who have been or may yet be affected by the outbreak are in our hearts and minds.

As always, we remain committed to making health and safety a top priority for all people, workers, employers, and government. Only then will we be able to achieve our goal of eliminating preventable incidents and illnesses in the workplace.
