Ontario’s Working for Workers Seven Act, 2025 (Bill 30)

On November 27, 2025, Ontario’s Working for Workers Seven Act, 2025 (Bill 30) officially received Royal Assent, bringing another round of significant workplace reforms. Continuing the province’s multi-year effort to modernize labour and safety laws, Bill 30 focuses on strengthening worker protections, increasing employer accountability, and updating rules to reflect today’s workplaces.

Below is a quick, clear breakdown of what’s changing — and why it matters.

1. Stronger Enforcement and Higher Penalties

Bill 30 reinforces Ontario’s commitment to cracking down on repeat safety offenders. Employers with multiple convictions under the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA) can now face mandatory minimum fines starting at $500,000. This marks one of the toughest penalty regimes in Canada and signals a shift toward more aggressive enforcement in high-risk sectors.

2. Updated WSIB & Employment Rules

Bill 30 also amends the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB) framework, streamlining processes and improving transparency. Some changes aim to align compensation rules with modern workplaces and support injured workers more effectively. Combined with new WSIB incentives and surplus rebates announced earlier in the year, the legislation encourages employers to prioritize safety and prevention.

3. Modernized Health & Safety Requirements

The Act builds on earlier “Working for Workers” laws by supporting flexibility in how employers meet their health and safety obligations. Electronic posting of required documents and virtual participation in Joint Health and Safety Committee activities are now clearly supported, reducing administrative burden — especially for hybrid and multi-site workplaces.

4. Protecting Workers in Evolving Work Environments

Bill 30 continues the province’s push to close gaps created by remote and digital work. Recent updates to related legislation already expanded the definition of workplace harassment to include digital and virtual harassment, and Bill 30 reinforces the government’s focus on psychological safety as an emerging priority.

In Addition:

  • Act Seven (2025): Effective immediately, it mandates WSIB reimbursement for defibrillators in required workplaces and equates ISO 45001 and COR™ 2020 certifications for public infrastructure bids, boosting access for contractors.
  • Act Six: From July 1, 2025, employers with 25+ employees must provide new hires with written info on rights, policies (e.g., violence, harassment, accessibility), and supports before their first day.
  • Act Five: As of January 1, 2026, washrooms must be kept clean/sanitary with documented cleaning records; expanded harassment definitions include virtual incidents. Fines for Employment Standards Act violations have doubled to $100,000, heightening focus on audits.

The Working for Workers Seven Act, 2025 is not just another legislative update it’s a signal that Ontario intends to keep evolving its labour and safety laws to meet the realities of a changing workforce.

Navigating Emerging Industry Risks: Essential Tools for a Safer Future

By SAFESUSTAIN Consulting 

In today’s rapidly evolving industrial landscape, new risks are emerging and with them, powerful tools to manage and mitigate them. At SAFESUSTAIN, we are on the cutting edge of health and safety, helping companies stay ahead of these trends through thoughtful risk management, expert consulting, and tailor training programs.

Here is a look at what is changing and how SAFESUSTAIN is leading the way.

 

Emerging Risks You Need to Know About

  1. Psychological Health and Safety
    The shift toward hybrid work and the rise of virtual harassment have pushed psychological hazards to the forefront. At SAFESUSTAIN, we guide companies in identifying mental health risks and building robust risk assessments not just for traditional physical dangers, but for stress, burnout, and harassment too.
  2. Inclusive PPE & Legal Compliance
    New regulations call for properly fitted personal protective equipment (PPE) not just “one size fits all.” This shift recognizes diversity in body types, gender, and tasks. SAFESUSTAIN supports companies in PPE audits, sourcing inclusive equipment, and training workers on the correct fit.
  3. Heightened Regulatory Pressure
    With stricter enforcement and rising fines especially for repeat offenders many companies are rethinking their safety programs. In Ontario, supervisors face increased scrutiny, and companies must prove they’re actively managing risks. SAFESUSTAIN helps you build safety systems that not only comply but demonstrate due diligence.
  1. The Rise of Electrification: Battery Electric Vehicles in Mining and Manufacturing

Green revolution brings new hazards: lithium-ion battery fires, high-voltage electrical shocks, and thermal runaway risks during charging or maintenance.

These aren’t abstract threats recent incidents underscore the urgency. A single BEV malfunction can escalate into a facility-wide emergency, costing millions in downtime and damages. At SAFESUSTAIN, we address this head-on with our industry-specific consulting. Our CRSP-led assessments identify vulnerabilities in your operations, from equipment retrofits to emergency response protocols. We go beyond audits, integrating BEV safety into your daily workflows to ensure seamless adoption without compromising productivity.

  1. Lockout/Tagout Failures and Machine Safeguards:

In industrial settings, where Ontario’s factories hum with automated machinery, lockout/tagout (LOTO) lapses remain a top culprit for injuries. Studies from Workplace Safety & Prevention Services (WSPS) reveal that inadequate safeguards on presses, conveyors, and robotics contribute to hundreds of incidents annually. Add emerging factors like AI driven automation and supply chain disruptions, and the risk multiplies workers face unexpected startups, pinch points, and ergonomic strains from faster production lines.

SAFESUSTAIN offers targeted training programs that transform compliance into competence.

  1. Mobile Equipment and Falls

Construction sites in Ontario’s booming residential sector are ground zero for slips, trips, and falls exacerbated by mobile equipment like elevated work platforms and boom lift used in projects.

SAFESUSTAIN’s expertise shines here, with solutions tailored for construction. Our consulting dives deep into site-specific risk mapping, recommending fall arrest systems, and crew briefings.

AI  and Technology in Workplace Safety

By SAFESUSTAIN Consulting 

Workplace health and safety has never moved faster than it is right now and technology, especially artificial intelligence, is both the accelerator and the new hazard itself.

On one hand, AI-powered tools are making workplaces dramatically safer. Wearable sensors that detect fatigue, heat stress, or toxic gas exposure in real time are soon will be common in construction, manufacturing, and healthcare. Computer-vision systems on forklifts and overhead cranes can stop a machine in milliseconds if a worker enters a danger zone. Predictive analytics platforms scan WSIB claims data, weather forecasts, and shift schedules to flag “high-risk” days before anyone clocks in.

Yet the same tools that prevent traditional injuries are quietly creating tomorrow’s claims, fines, and headlines.

The Emerging Hazards We’re Helping Clients Manage

  1. Algorithmic Over-Reliance Workers who believe “the AI is watching” are bypassing lockout procedures or removing guards.
  2. Privacy & Human Rights Complaints Heart-rate monitors, location tracking, and gait-analysis cameras generate sensitive health data. We guided clients through Office of the Privacy Commissioner safety data privacy.
  3. Psychological Hazards from Constant Surveillance Being monitored 100 % of the shift is triggering stress, anxiety, and constructive dismissal claims. We ensure JHSCs risk assessments for the mental-health impact of AI.
  4. Bias in Computer-Vision Systems Many off-the-shelf safety cameras were trained on datasets of mostly male, average-height workers. They routinely miss hazards for smaller-statured employees creating ironic violations of Ontario’s new inclusive-PPE requirements. We ensure compliance.
  5. Cybersecurity as an OHSA Issue A hacked safety system is now a critical incident. A single ransomware attack can disable systems, lock out e-stop overrides, or freeze ventilation controls. We ensure compliance.

How SAFESUSTAIN Consulting Keeps You Ahead

  • AI & Automation Safety Gap Assessments
  • Combined OHS + Privacy Impact Assessments
  • JHSC training on reviewing and approving AI safety tools
  • Custom policies that satisfy both Section 25 OHSA duties and PHIPA/OPCPA privacy rules
  • Table-top exercises for “AI failure” and cyber-incident scenarios

Let SAFESUSTAIN show you how to get the injury-reduction benefits of cutting-edge technology while staying compliant, keeping worker trust, and avoiding the emerging hazards everyone else will discover the hard way.

In 2025, the safest workplaces aren’t the ones without technology they’re the ones that understand its risks better than anyone else.

Inclusivity PPE, and Emerging Risks: Building Safe Workplaces in Ontario

By SAFESUSTAIN Consulting 

In today’s evolving occupational health and safety (OHS) landscape, Ontario employers face a pivotal shift toward greater inclusivity and preparedness for emerging risks. At SAFESUSTAIN Consulting, we specialize in helping businesses navigate these changes ensuring compliance, protecting workers, and promoting long-term resilience. With recent amendments to the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA) under the Working for Workers Six Act, 2024 (Bill 229), properly fitting personal protective equipment (PPE) is no longer optional it’s a legal imperative for all sectors.

Ill-fitting PPE has long been a silent hazard, particularly for women and workers with diverse body types. Studies show that up to 50% of women report PPE that doesn’t fit properly, leading to discomfort, reduced effectiveness, and increased injury risk. Ontario is leading the charge by mandating that all PPE must be a “proper fit” and appropriate for the task, expanding from construction to every workplace. This means assessing factors like size, adjustability, and hazard minimization no more “one-size-fits-all” excuses.

Properly fitted PPE not only prevents slips, trips, and exposure but also boosts morale and attracts diverse talent. In construction, where women make up just 5% of the onsite workforce, this change is already encouraging more inclusive hiring. For employers, non-compliance risks hefty fines, including minimum $500,000 penalties for repeat serious offenses.

At SAFESUSTAIN Consulting, we offer tailored audits, training, and PPE sourcing to ensure your gear fits every body and every risk. Our PPE marketing solutions feature inclusive lines designed for women, diverse shapes, and climate-resilient materials reducing waste while enhancing protection.

Don’t wait for an inspection. Contact SAFESUSTAIN today info@safesustain.com or (416) 822-7110 for a free inclusivity PPE assessment. Together, let’s create workplaces where everyone thrives safely.

 

Protect Lives, Protect Your Company and Yourself: Why Every Supervisor Needs Competent Supervisor and Working at Height Training

Across Ontario, Ministry of Labour is enforcing workplace safety negligence. Recent headlines reveal a growing trend front-line supervisors are being personally charged when fatal incidents occur on their watch, including electrocutions and falls from height. It’s no longer enough to assume “the company will handle it.” Supervisors are now being held legally accountable for what happens under their supervision.

At SAFESUSTAIN, we believe knowledge is the best protection. Our Competent Supervisor Training and Working at Height Training are designed to empower supervisors and workers to recognize, prevent, and control high-risk hazards before they turn into life-changing incidents.

Authorities are targeting repeat safety offenders and negligent supervision. Supervisors are expected not only to enforce safe practices but to demonstrate due diligence proving they’ve taken all reasonable steps to protect their team. Without proper training, even experienced leaders can find themselves facing devastating consequences: personal liability, fines, and even criminal charges.

SAFESUSTAIN Training Builds True Competence

Our Competent Supervisor Training goes beyond compliance. It teaches leaders how to:

  • Identify and control workplace hazards effectively.
  • Lead safety by example and communicate expectations clearly.
  • Document and demonstrate due diligence under the law.

Ontario Bill 30: What Businesses Need to Know and How to Stay Ahead

The Ontario government’s Working for Workers Six Act, 2024 (Bill 30) is changing the game for employers. With new obligations around employee protection, pay transparency, leave entitlements, and health & safety enforcement, this legislation represents a critical moment for Ontario organizations to strengthen compliance and rebuild trust with their workforce.

At SAFESUSTAIN we help Ontario businesses navigate these evolving requirements turning compliance challenges into opportunities for operational and cultural advantage.

What Bill 30 Means for Employers

The Act introduces several major updates that every employer should understand:

  • Expanded Illness Leave: Eligible employees may now take up to 27 weeks of unpaid medical leave within a 52-week period, providing new expectations for workforce planning and coverage.
  • AI and Pay Transparency in Hiring: Employers must disclose salary ranges in job postings and identify when artificial intelligence (AI) is used during recruitment or assessment processes.
  • Health & Safety Enforcement: The Act increases penalties under the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA), including new mandatory minimum fines for repeat offences. Supervisors and business owners are now under closer scrutiny than ever.
  • Support for Families and Inclusion: New provisions support parents through surrogacy or adoption and strengthen protections for women and diverse workers — such as ensuring access to properly fitting personal protective equipment (PPE).

Why Businesses Should Act Now

Waiting to adapt could expose your company to financial penalties, reputational harm, or loss of employee confidence.
A proactive response can do the opposite — demonstrate leadership, reduce legal risk, and position your business as a trusted employer of choice.

Ergonomics and Musculoskeletal Disorder (MSDs) in Retail

Retail is fast-paced, customer-focused, and physically demanding. Behind every neat display and well-stocked shelf are employees lifting, bending, reaching, and repeating the same motions day after day. These demands put retail workers at a high risk of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) — injuries that quietly build over time but can result in serious pain, lost productivity, and costly claims.

MSDs are among the most common workplace injuries in Ontario. For retailers, this translates into:

  • Higher workers’ compensation costs.
  • Increased absenteeism and turnover.
  • Lower productivity and reduced customer service quality.
  • Greater risk of Ministry of Labour inspections and penalties.

Simply put: ignoring ergonomics costs more than prevention.

While many organizations know MSDs are an issue, few have the expertise to tackle them effectively. That’s where a safety consultant comes in. With professional guidance, retailers can:

  • Identify hidden risks through ergonomic assessments tailored to retail tasks.
  • Design safer work processes for stocking, lifting, ladder use, and point-of-sale duties.
  • Equip staff with practical training on safe body mechanics and early reporting.
  • Implement cost-effective solutions — from simple workstation adjustments to better equipment choices.
  • Stay ahead of compliance requirements, reducing the risk of fines or orders during inspections.

Ontario’s Ministry of Labour is prioritizing ergonomics and MSD prevention in its compliance campaigns for retail. That means inspectors are paying closer attention — and so should you. Proactively addressing ergonomics shows employees you value their health, keeps operations running smoothly, and positions your business as a responsible industry leader.

Ergonomics isn’t just about safety — it’s about protecting your people, your reputation, and your bottom line. Partnering with a safety consultant gives you the insight, strategies, and support to build a healthier, more productive workplace.

Ready to reduce injuries and boost performance in your retail operation? Let’s talk about how expert guidance can make ergonomics work for you.

New MOL Requirement for Working at Heights Training

Ontario’s Ministry of Labour (MLITSD) has announced important updates to the Working at Heights (WAH) training standard, effective January 1, 2025. These changes affect every construction employer and worker who performs tasks where fall protection is required.

What’s Changing?

Refresher Training Sooner

Workers must now complete their WAH refresher within 2 years and 6 months of their previous certification (instead of every 3 years).

Digital Records Required

Employers must keep electronic copies of WAH certificates, ready to show during site inspections.

Updated Training Content

Approved providers are required to include modules on new fall‑protection equipment such as self‑retracting lifelines (SRLs) and updated inspection practices.

Language Accessibility

Training must be delivered in a language workers clearly understand, with multilingual materials or interpretation when needed.

Trainer Competency Checks

All instructors will undergo annual competency verification to ensure course quality and compliance.

Why It Matters

The goal is simple: fewer fall related injuries and fatalities on Ontario job sites. Non‑compliance can lead to fines (up to $1,500 per worker) or even stop‑work orders, so it’s crucial to act now.

What Should Employers and Workers Do?

Audit your workers’ certification dates and schedule refreshers before deadlines.

Digitize your records to simplify inspections and reporting.

Staying ahead of these new requirements protects your workers and your business.

Protect Your Team. Avoid Fines. Get Certified.

Prevention Through Design: Integrating Safety at the Source

The traditional approach to occupational health and safety has often emphasized controls, training, and personal protective equipment (PPE) once hazards are already present in the workplace. While these measures remain critical, they are reactive by nature. Increasingly, industry leaders and regulators are recognizing the value of a proactive strategy: Prevention through Design (PtD).

Prevention through Design (PtD) is the systematic process of eliminating or mitigating occupational hazards at the design and planning stage of facilities, equipment, processes, and work tasks. The intent is to address risks before they are introduced, thereby reducing the need for downstream corrective actions and ongoing reliance on administrative controls or PPE.

Jurisdictions across Canada and internationally are advancing PtD as part of broader Vision Zero initiatives. By embedding safety into engineering and procurement decisions, organizations align with recognized best practices and demonstrate due diligence under occupational health and safety legislation. In Ontario, PtD complements existing requirements under the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA) by supporting the principle of the “internal responsibility system”—that hazards should be addressed at their source wherever possible.

Benefits of PtD

  • Risk Reduction: Hazards are eliminated or controlled before exposure occurs.
  • Cost Savings: Avoidance of retrofits, reduced downtime, and fewer compensation claims.
  • Regulatory Alignment: Demonstrates proactive compliance with health and safety obligations.
  • Sustainability: Supports long-term operational efficiency and worker well-being.

Emerging technologies such as digital modeling, virtual reality, and AI-based simulations now enable organizations to anticipate hazards earlier and with greater accuracy. As these tools become more accessible, PtD will continue to strengthen its role as a cornerstone of occupational health and safety management.

Prevention through Design represents a shift from reactive hazard management to systemic prevention at the source. For organizations and safety professionals, adopting PtD is both a compliance opportunity and a strategic investment in safer, healthier, and more productive workplaces.

Training and Leadership: The New Cornerstone of Ontario Workplaces

Workplace health and safety in Canada is experiencing a cultural shift. While regulations, equipment, and compliance frameworks remain essential, the conversation in 2025 is increasingly focused on training and leadership as the true cornerstones of safer, healthier workplaces. This trend is particularly visible in Ontario, where new legislative reforms and stricter enforcement are reshaping expectations for employers and supervisors alike.

Across Canada, workplace injuries are on the rise particularly in construction, healthcare, logistics, and natural resource sectors. Fatigue, climate-related risks, and staffing shortages are compounding these challenges. Traditional “checklist” safety training no longer suffices. Workers now require practical, scenario-based education that equips them to recognize risks, make decisions under pressure, and protect both themselves and their teams.

Digital tools and AI are also changing the training landscape. Wearables, simulations, and mobile platforms are giving employees real-time feedback on hazards such as ergonomic strain, heat exposure, or fatigue. These technologies are powerful, but their value depends on leaders who can interpret the data and foster a safety-first culture.

Strong leadership is emerging as the defining factor between organizations that simply comply with the law and those that build resilient, thriving workplaces. In Ontario, supervisors and managers are being held directly accountable in cases of serious injury or fatality, with charges and significant fines issued for negligence. This reality underscores that leadership is not optional it is a legal and moral imperative.

Leaders set the tone for how safety is valued day to day. When managers prioritize communication, model safe practices, and invest in ongoing professional development, workers are more likely to engage with training and follow through on protocols. Safety, in this sense, becomes cultural rather than procedural.

Ontario’s Working for Workers Acts (2023–2024) and ongoing compliance campaigns reflect this pivot. New requirements for proper PPE, sanitary facilities, and workplace violence prevention programs go together with increased accountability for supervisors and organizations. The province is also backing this shift with investments in training infrastructure, such as the Workers Health & Safety Centre’s expanded programming.

For Ontario workplaces the message is clear: training and leadership are now central to workplace safety and wellness. Regulations can mandate standards, but only informed workers and accountable leaders can embed them into daily practice. As risks evolve from climate stress to digital harassment organizations that invest in developing both their people and their leadership capacity will not only meet compliance standards, but also build safer, more resilient workplaces for the future.

SAFESUSTAIN offer the following Leadership Trainings:

  • Safety Leadership Training,
  • Competent Supervisor Training,
  • Inspection and Incident Investigation Training,
  • ISO 45001 systems and certification,

to build a resilient safety culture

Recognizing Heat Stress as a Workplace Hazard: A  Call to Action

As summer temperatures rise across Canada, heat stress is emerging as one of the most urgent and often underestimated workplace hazards. For workers in construction, agriculture, custodial services, manufacturing, and even some office environments without proper ventilation, the risk of heat-related illness is more than discomfort it can be deadly.

Heat stress occurs when the body can no longer regulate its temperature effectively. Symptoms range from mild fatigue and dehydration to more severe conditions like heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Left untreated, these can result in long-term health issues or even fatality. The danger escalates when high temperatures combine with physical exertion, inadequate hydration, or lack of rest breaks.

Despite the serious risk, heat stress is not formally recognized as a workplace hazard under Ontario’s Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA). This means employers are not specifically required to implement controls or training around heat exposure, leaving workers vulnerable. However, that may soon change. The Ontario Federation of Labour and NDP have called for legislation that would require employers to take proactive steps like providing cool-down areas, ensuring regular hydration breaks, and monitoring indoor and outdoor working conditions.

Recognizing heat stress as a workplace hazard is not just about compliance it’s about culture change. Employers can lead the way by:

  • Educating workers about the signs and symptoms of heat-related illness.
  • Scheduling heavy work during cooler parts of the day.
  • Providing shaded rest areas and access to cool water.
  • Encouraging a workplace culture where employees feel safe to report heat-related symptoms without stigma.

As the frequency and severity of heatwaves increase, ignoring the health impacts of extreme heat is no longer an option. Recognizing heat stress as a legitimate, regulated hazard would provide a legal foundation for protective measures and signal that the well-being of workers in every sector is a priority.

Now is the time to act. Let’s make heat safety part of every workplace conversation.

Ontario Evolving Injury Trends at Work

A Shifting Landscape: Reduced Frequency, Persistent Severity

Ontario has seen encouraging progress in reducing overall workplace injury rates: between 2004 and 2017, work related injuries dropped by 26%, driven by declines in minor and moderate incidents. However, the most severe injuries those that are costly and life-altering have not seen similar improvement. In fact, among women, the rate of very severe injuries slightly increased.

A Closer Look at Recent Data: Rising Numbers Despite Prevention

More recent statistics (for April 2022 to March 2023) paint a complex picture:

  • Lost-time injury claims rose significantly: Schedule 1 (the bulk of workplaces) saw an increase from 59,141 claims in 2021 to 65,566 in 2022; the rate per 100 workers climbed from 1.24 to 1.30.
  • No lost-time injury claims declined slightly in rate, from 1.88 to 1.74 per 100 workers.
  • Critical injuries those requiring immediate Ministry attention surged to 2,685, up from 2,387 in the prior year.
  • Workplace fatalities remained tragically notable: Ontario recorded 90 traumatic fatalities in 2022 (up from 81 in 2021), alongside 174 occupational disease deaths, for a total of 264 accepted fatality claims.

Hard Hit Sectors: Spotlight on Critical and Fatal Incidents

The sectors most affected by fatal incidents include:

  • Construction (31% of traumatic fatalities)
  • Transportation and Warehousing (19%)
  • Manufacturing (13%).

These figures underscore the persistent risks in certain industries, even as overall safety improves.

At Greater Risk: Precarious Work and Opioid Harms

Emerging research from the Institute for Work & Health (IWH) reveals troubling connections between precarious employment and adverse health outcomes. Workers in insecure, low wage jobs face higher injury risks and are more likely to die prematurely due to suicide, substance use, or opioid related harms. Industries particularly affected include forestry, machining, construction, mining, and materials handling.

Understanding the Trends: Prevention Works, But Gaps Remain

  • Prevention has worked, reducing minor injuries effectively. Yet, severe and fatal incidents remain stubbornly high, particularly in high-risk sectors.
  • The rise in lost-time and critical injury claims suggests gaps in enforcement, training, or hazard mitigation are still present.
  • Vulnerable workers in precarious or demanding roles are disproportionately impacted, with elevated risks extending beyond physical injury to encompass mental health and substance related harms.

Final Thought

Ontario’s injury landscape shows progress in lowering overall incident rates, but it also highlights the need for continued vigilance. High risk sectors require targeted interventions and supports for vulnerable workers must address both physical safety and broader wellbeing. Moving forward, strategies that proactively prevent severe incidents, support mental health, and reduce disparities across worker groups will be essential to truly advancing workplace safety.

The Future of safety: Fatigue Monitoring and Connected Work Technology in the Modern Workplace

In today’s rapidly evolving workplace, safety is no longer just about hard hats and hazard signs. With advancements in wearable technology and real time data tracking, employers are embracing a proactive approach to health and safety one that focuses on early detection and prevention. A major area of innovation is fatigue monitoring and connected-worker solutions, reshaping how organizations manage risk, especially in high stakes sectors like construction, manufacturing, mining, and logistics.

Fatigue: The Invisible Hazard

Fatigue is a leading but often invisible cause of workplace incidents. Studies show it can impair decision making and reaction times as much as alcohol. With extended shifts, night work, and mentally demanding tasks becoming more common, organizations are turning to wearable sensors to track signs of worker fatigue in real time. These devices monitor indicators like heart rate variability, micro sleeps, movement patterns, and skin temperature to detect when a worker is physically or mentally compromised.

Connected-Worker Systems: Safety Through Integration

A connected worker system uses smart devices such as wearable bands, helmets, or mobile apps to link workers with supervisors, safety teams, and even AI based monitoring platforms. These tools provide:Live location tracking in hazardous zones, Instant alerts in case of falls, overexertion, or equipment malfunctions, Two way communication for remote or isolated workers, and Data analytics to uncover trends and predict future risks. These systems go beyond compliance they empower employers to shift from reactive to predictive safety management.

Real-Time Decision Making

By feeding data from multiple workers into a centralized dashboard, safety managers can spot emerging risks as they unfold. For example, if multiple team members in a heat intensive zone show signs of exhaustion, work schedules can be adjusted in real time. This dynamic decision making model helps prevent accidents before they happen.

Looking Ahead

With rising expectations around workplace health and accountability especially in provinces like Ontario these technologies are quickly becoming essential. Beyond boosting compliance, fatigue monitoring and connected worker solutions foster a culture of care, where every employee knows their wellbeing is being actively supported.

The future of workplace safety is connected, data driven, and human centered and it’s already here.

New MOL Requirement for Working at Heights Training 

Ontario’s Ministry of Labour (MLITSD) has announced important updates to the Working at Heights (WAH) training standard, effective January 1, 2025. These changes affect every construction employer and worker who performs tasks where fall protection is required.

What’s Changing?

Refresher Training Sooner
Workers must now complete their WAH refresher within 2 years and 6 months of their previous certification (instead of every 3 years).

Digital Records Required
Employers must keep electronic copies of WAH certificates, ready to show during site inspections.

Updated Training Content
Approved providers are required to include modules on new fall‑protection equipment such as self‑retracting lifelines (SRLs) and updated inspection practices.

Language Accessibility
Training must be delivered in a language workers clearly understand, with multilingual materials or interpretation when needed.

Trainer Competency Checks
All instructors will undergo annual competency verification to ensure course quality and compliance.

Why It Matters

The goal is simple: fewer fall related injuries and fatalities on Ontario job sites.
Non‑compliance can lead to fines (up to $1,500 per worker) or even stop‑work orders, so it’s crucial to act now.

What Should Employers and Workers Do?

Audit your workers’ certification dates and schedule refreshers before deadlines.

Digitize your records to simplify inspections and reporting.

Staying ahead of these new requirements protects your workers and your business.

Protect Your Team. Avoid Fines. Get Certified.

Ontario 2025 – 2026 MLITSD Blitz – Material-

Handling Safety Campaign   

Ontario’s workplaces are seeing renewed focus on one of the most persistent hazards in industry: material handling. From April 2025 through March 2026, the Ministry of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development (MLITSD) is running a province‑wide Material‑Handling Safety Campaign, aiming to prevent crushing, struck‑by, and musculoskeletal injuries—some of the leading causes of serious incidents in industrial settings.

Why material handling?

Recent data shows material‑handling incidents are behind a significant share of Ontario’s workplace injuries and fatalities. In 2024 alone, seven workers died in crushing incidents and five were fatally struck by objects or equipment. These numbers, though lower than the previous year, highlight that risks remain high in sectors like manufacturing, automotive, warehousing, and retail.

Two phases, one goal: safer workplaces

The campaign is split into two clear phases:

Phase 1 – Education and Compliance Assistance
Throughout early 2025, the ministry is partnering with safety organizations like WSPS and PSHSA to deliver webinars, fact sheets, and on‑site consultations. Employers are encouraged to review existing material‑handling procedures, inspect equipment, and retrain staff on safe lifting techniques and the use of mechanical aids.

Phase 2 – Targeted Inspections
Later in the campaign, inspectors will visit workplaces with a special focus on material‑handling practices. They’ll be looking at things like forklift operation, racking and storage systems, and how well employers are controlling hazards such as overexertion or unsecured loads. Non‑compliance could lead to orders, fines, or stop‑work measures.

What employers should do now

If your workplace handles heavy or awkward materials, now is the time to act. Review your Joint Health and Safety Committee records, update risk assessments, and ensure employees are properly trained—not just once, but continuously. Check that your equipment is well‑maintained and that clear traffic management plans are in place for forklifts and pedestrians.

This campaign is part of Ontario’s ongoing effort to drive down injury rates through both education and enforcement. By preparing early and engaging workers in safe material‑handling practices, employers can not only avoid penalties but also build a stronger culture of safety—one where everyone goes home healthy at the end of the day.

Protecting Workers from Heat Stress & Poor Air Quality  

As temperatures climb across Canada this summer, workplace heat stress and air quality issues both indoors and outdoors are becoming critical health and safety concerns. Employers must act now to protect their teams from preventable risks that can impact productivity, morale, and lives.

Heat Stress: 

Whether you're on a construction site or working in a non-air conditioned warehouse, heat stress is a silent threat. It occurs when the body cannot cool itself fast enough, leading to fatigue, dehydration, heat exhaustion, or even stroke.

High-risk workplaces include:
  • Construction, roofing, landscaping
  • Warehousing, manufacturing
  • Food processing and kitchens
  • Agriculture and delivery services
Early warning signs include:
  • Dizziness, headache, and nausea
  • Excessive sweating or clammy skin
  • Confusion or sudden fatigue
Preventive Measures for Employers
  • Hydration: Provide cool water every 15–20 minutes.
  • Rest Breaks: Schedule in shaded or cool areas.
  • Modified Work Hours: Avoid peak heat times (11 a.m.–3 p.m.).
  • Acclimatization: Let new employees ease into hot environments.
  • Education: Train teams to recognize heat-related symptoms.
Air Quality: Indoors and Out

In 2023–2024, Canada experienced record wildfire smoke events, and 2025 is tracking to be no different. Even office and retail workers can be affected when smoke infiltrates indoor spaces or when indoor air systems are outdated.

Indoor air risks include:
  • Poor ventilation and stale air
  • Exposure to VOCs from cleaning products and equipment
  • Mold growth from high humidity or poor HVAC maintenance
Outdoor air quality concerns (for drivers, field workers, etc.):
  • Wildfire smoke
  • Urban smog and ozone
  • Pollen and allergens
How to Improve Air Quality for Indoor and Outdoor Work
  • Install HEPA filters and maintain HVAC systems regularly.
  • Monitor indoor CO₂ levels and consider air purifiers in shared spaces.
  • Use real-time air quality indexes (e.g., AQHI) to reschedule or limit outdoor work on poor air days.
  • Allow remote or flexible work options during severe air quality events.
 

Heat and air quality are evolving hazards, made worse by climate change and aging infrastructure. By investing in awareness, training, and the right equipment, businesses can create safer, healthier work environments year-round.

Healthy air and a cool head save lives.

Ontario’s Bill 190: Expanding Worker Protections for Digital Age 

In 2024, the Ontario government passed Bill 190, Working for Workers Five Act, continuing its multi-year campaign to modernize employment and workplace safety laws. The legislation received Royal Assent on October 28, 2024, and came into force on December 3, 2024, with a focus on adapting labour laws to today’s evolving work environments particularly remote work, digital communication, and job flexibility.

Key Highlights of Bill 190 (2024)
  1.  Telework and Remote Work Safety
One of the most significant developments in Bill 190 is the extension of the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA) to telework. For the first time, the law formally includes home-based and remote work environments under its safety standards. Employers are now responsible for the health and safety of employees working from home, including the identification of hazards and implementation of proper workplace protocols.

This change emphasizes that a “workplace” is no longer limited to a physical office or job site—it includes any location where work is performed, including private residences.
  1.  Virtual Harassment Now Explicitly Covered
Bill 190 also modernizes Ontario’s workplace harassment framework. It formally recognizes virtual harassment—abusive or inappropriate conduct using email, video conferencing, messaging apps, or social media—as a workplace safety issue under OHSA.

Employers must now ensure their anti-harassment policies explicitly cover online interactions, train employees and supervisors accordingly, and create complaint mechanisms suited to digital conduct.
  1.  Electronic Postings and Virtual Safety Meetings
Acknowledging the digital shift, Bill 190 allows employers to digitally post required OHSA documents, such as health and safety policies or committee member names, as long as they are easily accessible to workers.

In addition, Joint Health and Safety Committees (JHSCs) may now meet virtually, removing the previous in-person requirement and making it easier to maintain compliance in hybrid workplaces.
  1.  Streamlined Leave and Employment Standards Enforcement
The Bill also introduced several employment standards reforms:
  • Employers may require employees to disclose the reason for taking job-protected leave (e.g., illness or family emergency).
  • Ministry of Labour officers now have expanded powers to issue electronic notices and conduct digital inspections.
  • Maximum fines under the Employment Standards Act (ESA) have increased, raising the stakes for non-compliance.

The Urgent Need for Targeted Safety Training in Ontario Workplaces

Workplace safety in Ontario is evolving rapidly, and nowhere is targeted training more critical than for supervisors, new workers, those working at heights, and road construction crews. With recent updates to the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA) and increasing penalties for non-compliance, ensuring these groups receive focused, role-specific training is not just best practice—it’s essential for legal compliance, injury prevention, and organizational resilience. 

Supervisors serve as the first line of defense in hazard identification and mitigation. However, many lack adequate training in modern risk assessment, mental health awareness, and documentation practices. As regulatory expectations grow, so does the liability tied to supervisory inaction. Ensuring supervisors are competent under OHSA definitions means providing them with not just technical safety knowledge, but also soft skills in leadership, communication, and conflict resolution. 

New workers are statistically the most vulnerable group in any workforce. Lacking experience and familiarity with job-specific hazards, they are at significantly higher risk of injury—especially in their first month on the job. Targeted onboarding, hazard communication, and mentorship programs must be prioritized to reduce this risk and build a safety-first culture from day one. 

Working at heights remains a leading cause of workplace fatalities in Ontario. In response, the Ministry of Labour has mandated specialized Working at Heights (WAH) training, which must be regularly updated. With stricter enforcement now in place, employers must verify certification and ensure site-specific fall prevention measures are clearly understood and followed.

Similarly, road construction workers face daily risks from live traffic, heavy equipment, and dynamic work environments. Recently updated training modules now emphasize real-time hazard identification, traffic control, and emergency preparedness. As infrastructure projects expand across the province, protecting road crews through rigorous training is a shared responsibility between employers, contractors, and government agencies.

In short, investing in targeted training for these key groups is no longer optional. It is a proactive step toward zero injuries, lower liability, and a safer, more productive Ontario workforce.

Prioritize Psychological Risk Assessment and Prevention

In a post-pandemic environment marked by burnout, hybrid work, and labour shortages, psychological hazards like stress, harassment, and unclear job roles have become widespread. Unlike physical hazards, these are often invisible but no less damaging, leading to anxiety, depression, burnout, and disability if left unaddressed.

Despite growing awareness, most workplaces remain unprepared, with few adopting formal psychological health programs or conducting proper risk assessments. Yet, these assessments are critical they identify hidden organizational stressors and allow early intervention before risks escalate.

The CSA Z1003 National Standard provides a clear framework for addressing psychological health, but fewer than 20% of Canadian employers have implemented it. Ontario workplaces have a powerful opportunity to lead by example.

Psychological safety is not just a moral and health imperative it’s also a legal obligation. Under the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA), employers must take every reasonable precaution to protect workers from all forms of harm, including psychological. Legal cases in Ontario have reinforced this, and mental stress claims through WSIB are rising in both cost and complexity.

Training is critical. It’s not enough to assess employers must build capacity to prevent and respond. Effective training should cover:
  • Supervisor awareness and mental health leadership
  • Early detection of distress
  • Conflict resolution
  • Return-to-work support after mental health leave
Employees also benefit from programs that build resilience and mental health literacy, contributing to healthier, more engaged workplaces.

In 2024, WSIB expanded its Health and Safety Excellence Program to include psychological safety, offering rebates and tools for proactive employers.

In sum, prioritizing psychological safety boosts retention, productivity, and well-being. Ontario has reduced physical injuries now it’s time to apply that same energy and innovation to the psychological health of workers. Risk assessments, training, and prevention aren’t optional they’re essential.

Why is Working at Height Training Mandatory in Ontario, Canada? 

Working at height poses significant risks and is one of the leading causes of workplace injuries and fatalities. Recognizing the dangers associated with working at elevated levels, Ontario, Canada has implemented mandatory training for workers who perform tasks at heights. This blog delves into the reasons behind this requirement, highlighting the importance of such training in ensuring workplace safety and compliance with legal standards.

Understanding the Risks
Working at height involves any task performed at an elevation where a fall could result in injury. This includes
construction, roofing, maintenance on elevated structures, and more. The risks associated with these tasks are numerous and include:

Falls: The most obvious and significant risk. Falls from heights can lead to severe injuries or death.

Falling Objects: Tools, equipment, or materials can fall from height, posing risks to workers below.

Structural Failures: Scaffolds, ladders, and other equipment may fail if not properly maintained or used.

The Legal Framework
In Ontario, the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA) sets out the duties of employers, supervisors, and
workers to ensure a safe workplace. Under OHSA, the Construction Projects Regulation (O. Reg. 213/91) addresses  explicitly fall protection and mandates that employers must ensure workers who use fall protection systems receive appropriate training.


Key Components of the Training
The Working at Heights training in Ontario comprises two main components:

Theory Component: This includes lessons on the hazards of working at heights, the legislation governing fall protection, and the selection and proper use of personal protective equipment (PPE).

Practical Component: This hands-on training involves demonstrating the proper use of fall protection systems, anchoring techniques, and emergency preparedness.


Why the Training is Essential

Enhanced Safety: Proper training equips workers with the knowledge and skills to recognize hazards and use fall protection systems effectively. This significantly reduces the risk of accidents and injuries.

Compliance with Regulations: Employers must legally ensure their workers are trained. Compliance with these regulations helps avoid penalties and legal repercussions.

Improved Awareness: Training programs raise awareness about the importance of safety practices and the proper use of equipment, fostering a culture of safety within the workplace.

Emergency Preparedness: In the event of an incident, trained workers are better prepared to respond appropriately, potentially mitigating the severity of injuries.

Reduced Costs: Preventing accidents can lead to lower insurance premiums, reduced downtime, and fewer compensation claims, ultimately saving money for businesses.


Conclusion

The mandatory Working at Heights training in Ontario is a critical to protecting workers and ensuring a safe
working environment. By understanding the risks, complying with legal requirements, and fostering a safety culture, both employers and workers can contribute to reducing workplace injuries and fatalities. This training a regulatory obligation but a fundamental aspect of workplace safety that
benefits everyone involved.
