Workplace safety is of paramount importance for both employees and employers alike. A safe working environment promotes employee well-being, boosts productivity and prevents and reduces the risks of accidents or injuries. Recognizing the significance of workplace safety, the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB) has developed the Health and Safety Excellence Program. This innovative program aims to enhance workplace safety and support businesses to create a safe working environment and achieve excellence in health and safety practices. This article delves deep into the key aspects of the program and explores its benefits for organizations and workers.
WSIB is working along with the Ministry of Labour, Training and Skills Development (MLTSD) to assist businesses in making their workplaces safer and healthier under the Supporting Ontario’s Safe Employers (SOSE) program.
