Health and Safety Training Kitchener
The importance of safety training
A core belief in the Ontario Ministry of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development‘s overall philosophy is that “All workers have the right to return home each day safe and sound.”
Their vision is that all Ontario workplaces are healthy and safe, and provide a secure environment from which workers return home healthy, safe and sound, every day.
Sadly, that’s not always the case. For example, in Ontario alone, there were 11,928 recorded injuries as a result of workplace falls in 2017, according to a report generated through the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board.
Those number, the most up to date information related specifically to working at heights, were up from each of the two previous years. They underscore the great importance of making sure your employees have the most hands-on and effective health and safety training in Kitchener and anywhere else!
Workplace health and safety affects the well being, success, and prosperity of individuals, families, businesses, communities and the province as a whole. At the end of the day, preventing workplace injuries must be a priority across the board. It’s necessary for employers to get their workers trained before they start working and to keep their certifications up to date while on the job.
The goal is that workplaces provide a secure environment from which workers return home healthy,
safe and sound, every day.
