The broader Service Sector and specifically retailers are being reminded that musculoskeletal disorder (MSD) prevention is one of the focus areas this year by the MOLITSD during their targeted inspection program..

Repetitive lifting, reaching, and awkward postures from stocking shelves or working a register add up over time.

Small changes, like proper lifting training and better workstation setup, go a long way.

As part of Canada's Healthy Workplace Month, this week we're talking about psychological health at work.

A workplace culture built on trust, fairness, and respect doesn't happen by accident, it takes intention.

Do your managers know how to spot burnout, and do your employees know where to turn for support?

Did you know noise exposure is one of the new focus areas for provincial MOLITSD inspectors this year?

Under Ontario's Noise Regulation, employers need to show they've evaluated noise exposure, put engineering controls or safe work practices in place, and trained workers, not just handed out earplugs. If it's been a while since your last noise assessment, now's the time.

A reminder for builders and contractors: the province's focused inspection campaign on single- and multi-family residential construction runs through March 2027. Inspectors continue to look closely at working at heights, ladders, scaffolding, stairs and handrails, and excavation protection.

For those working the docks and marinas around Kingston and Eastern Ontario, the province's Marina Safety initiative runs through October 31st!

Inspectors are checking things like fall protection near the water, safe fueling practices, and electrical safety on docks. If your business operates near the water, now's a good time for a quick self-check.

Fire Prevention Week is also the perfect reminder to double-check the basics: are your fire extinguishers inspected, your smoke detectors tested, do you have an evacuation plan that is up to date and your evacuation routes kept clear?

A fire drill this week can reveal gaps before a real emergency does.

It's Fire Prevention Week (Oct 4 to 10)!

This year's theme is all about safe charging habits for lithium-ion batteries, a growing fire risk in workplaces that charge power tools, e-bikes, forklifts, or other battery-powered equipment. Only charge devices on a hard, non-flammable surface, use manufacturer-approved chargers, and never leave charging equipment unattended overnight.

September 30th is recognized as the National Day of Truth and Reconciliation.

Historically and currently, Indigenous people do not receive the same benefits in the workplace as individuals of other ethnicities do. 45% of young Indigenous workers have reported cases of discrimination in the workplace. Young Indigenous workers are one of the fastest growing sectors for our current-day workforce. Continuing to respect, understand, prevent, and learn from past workplace discrimination will help foster a healthy and safe workplace.
