Ontario companies failing to take action are risking fines in the hundreds of thousands of dollars along with the possibility of criminal prosecution for individuals involved. These serious implications demonstrate that unsafe work practices will not be tolerated by the Ontario government and reaffirms their commitment to the goal of making Ontario workplaces the safest in the world.

The prevention of lost-time accidents can only have a positive economic impact on an organization by leading to improved overall employee morale and a subsequent increase in productivity.
