Abstract
Data compiled from workers’ compensation boards across Canada showed that 951 provincially regulated workers were killed due to their work in 2017. Statistically, Ontario is one of the safest provinces in which one may work with a five-year lost time injury rate average of 0.95 per 100 workers. Ontario also remained consistent in work-related fatality rates between 2010 and 2017 at 1.36 per 100,000. While this may be the case, in 2017, Ontario still witnessed 59,529 lost time injuries, 76 injury related fatalities, and 215 people killed by occupational disease. The 7.2 million Ontarians that go to work each day expect, and have the inalienable right, to return home safely at the end of the day. Every injury and fatality in this province represents the need for greater communication between government and private industry, particularly small business.
