... it's about safe work, and working safely

The WSIB's vision is the elimination of all workplace fatalities, injuries, and illnesses. To help make that vision a reality, we promote the sharing and use of information and resources that help workplaces make their work, safe work. We offer programs that help employers meet their prevention responsibilities to build healthy and safe workplaces. Health and safety promotion through radio, print and television ads is another way we try to reach as many people in Ontario as we can. And we don't work alone. We have many partners in Ontario's Health and Safety Community who can provide you with specific health and safety information and assistance.
