Young workers: Staying safe at work

With the summer months beginning this is the time when students are starting new jobs. These young workers and/or new workers are at a high risk for getting injured while at work. New workers are 3 times more likely to be injured during their first month than other, more experienced workers. In Ontario, according to the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board, between 2009 and 2013, 30 youth workers died in work related incidents and another 30,000 received injuries that led to lost time.

This blog discusses four scenarios where workplace investigations are required or recommended.

Understanding WSIB’s NEER system more important than ever

Ontario's workers' compensation system is on the verge of a major overhaul and employers need to be aware of how this change will impact them. As part of the administration's ongoing efforts to eliminate its significant unfunded liability and to modernize operations, the WSIB has proposed Rate Framework changes that are expected to come into effect in 2019.
