Annual Reports

At its core, health and safety is simple: proactively determine the risks presented in the workplace and eliminate or control them so they do not lead to harmful incidents. However, running a business is rarely simple and our continually changing world creates challenges that compete for attention.

For Workplace Safety & Prevention Services (WSPS), focusing on the very essence of what we are here to do – our mandate - has never been more important. WSPS serves the 174,000 businesses and 4.2 million workers in the province’s agriculture, manufacturing, and service sectors. According to WSIB data, these industries collectively experienced 61 workplace fatalities (traumatic and occupational disease-related) and an average Lost Time Incident Rate (LTIR) of .86 in 2022. We believe one incident is one too many – and in 2023-24, we launched our refreshed strategic plan to effect positive change.

It has been a year of activity and momentum. To view highlights, please review our 2023 Annual Report.
