Workplace Wire

On October 1, 2012, all workplaces must have the Ministry of Labour’s new workplace poster “Health and Safety At Work – Prevention Starts Here”. We think this is a good time to check that your company has put up all the workplace posters required in Ontario. Check that you have:

• “What You Should Know About the Ontario Employment Standards Act”; and

• The WSIB’s “In Case of Injury” Poster

All mandatory posters must be posted in a “conspicuous” place in the workplace. Posters can ordered from the Ministry of Labour, the WSIB, or Service Ontario.
