Safety in the workplace is a
constant concern. In an effort to keep employees safe and
promote health and safety in the workplace, The Ministry of
Labour regularly conducts 'Safety Blitzes' focusing on
different issues every time.
"Ontario is safer than ever
before, but not safe enough, according to speakers at Partners
in Prevention 2010: Ontario Health & Safety Conference and
Trade Show. The implication: employers can expect increasingly
strategic approaches to injury and illness prevention."
Upcoming visits and blitzes
will focus on the following:
"* competence (knowledge of OHSA)
* commitment (leadership)
* capacity (resources to address H&S issues)
A number of upcoming enforcement blitzes involve the
industrial sector:
* May 1-August 31 — young and new workers (all sectors)
* May 1-31 — fall related hazards
* Sept 1-Oct 31 — musculoskeletal disorders (all sectors)
* Nov 1-Dec 31 — conveyor guarding
* February 1-28, 2011 — loading docks"
