Ontario imposes mandatory occupational health and safety training for workers and supervisors
Ontario Regulation 297/13, Occupational Health and Safety Awareness Training under the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA) will explicitly require that workers and supervisors receive basic occupational health and safety training as of July 1, 2014. The Ministry of Labour initiative to impose mandatory basic OHSA training for workers and supervisors arises out of a recommendation made by an advisory panel which the Ontario government appointed in the aftermath of a tragic scaffolding accident that claimed the lives of four workers in 2009.
