The province will provide support to organizations creating innovative solutions to health and safety issues in today's changing workplace through its annual Occupational Health, Safety and Prevention Innovation Program (OHSPIP).
This year, the supports will focus on initiatives that aim to improve workplace mental health, address mobile equipment hazards and prevent occupational disease and secondary injury, such as reducing the impact of workplace injuries, preventing recurrences and protecting workers from longer-term work-related disabilities.
Employers can apply to the program for support to implement their workplace health and safety projects.
Investing in workplace safety is part of our plan to create jobs, grow our economy and help people in their everyday lives.
" Investing in inventive approaches to workplace health and safety focuses our resources on where they will make the biggest difference. These projects will foster collaboration and spur innovation to help reduce injuries and save lives in workplaces across Ontario."
- Kevin Flynn
Ontario Minister of Labour
" Helping to strengthen workplace health and safety through these grants, we are working together to ensure that, at the end of the day, workers are able to go home safe and sound to their families."
- George Gritziotis
Chief Prevention Officer
