The Road to Zero (2008 – 2012) represents our ongoing commitment to the elimination of all fatalities, injuries and illnesses in Ontario. With this focus,
the WSIB will continue to demonstrate a concerted effort to ensure quality and timely health care, fair and equitable compensation and early, safe and sustainable return to work.

There really are no accidents.

New legislation passed by the Ontario legislature today will make workers’ compensation coverage mandatory for more individuals working in the construction industry.
The legislation will extend benefits and services contained in the Workplace Safety and Insurance Act, 1997 (WSIA) to independent operators in construction and some other individuals in the construction industry who are currently not covered.

The Act will fully come into effect no earlier than 2012 – three years following Royal Assent. This three-year period will enable the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB) to work with construction stakeholders to develop systems to support the proposed changes and to pre-register individuals who will be subject to mandatory coverage when the Act is fully in force.

The Government of Ontario and its workplace partners are committed to eliminating all workplace injuries. The Ontario Ministry of Labour is responsible for enforcing the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA). Under the Safe At Work Ontario program, the ministry is focusing its enforcement resources in areas where needed to enforce requirements under the OHSA through inspections. Many of these inspections are "proactive," that is, they are conducted before workplace injuries occur.

Since June 2008, the Ministry of Labour has been conducting a series of inspection “blitzes” with a view to protecting workers in specific types of workplaces. Blitzes are well publicized to stakeholders in advance of visits to workplaces by health and safety inspectors.
