Roadmap to accreditation outlined at Opportunities for Safety session

Ontario construction employers now have significant new opportunities to improve their safety culture and receive rewards and recognition, contractors learned recently at an educational forum hosted by the Ontario General Contractors Association (OGCA) and the League of Champions.

The event, held in Mississauga Feb. 12, was billed as Opportunities for Safety: An Introduction to the New Ontario Safety Programs.

Safety incentives provided by the Ministry of Labour, Training and Skills Development (MOLTSD) and the Workplace Safety and Insurance Bureau (WSIB) have changed, the contractors were told. The event featured presentations on Supporting Ontario’s Safe Employer Program (SOSE), the Health and Safety Excellence Program, and COR (Certificate of Recognition) 2020 to show where they fit on the roadmap to accreditation.
