Team-building looked a little different for our CEO Office Team yesterday — instead of icebreakers, they spent the meeting assembling Birthday Celebration Kits for families who use Food Banks Mississauga! 🎉

Each kit is a sealed 9x13 pan filled with everything you need for a birthday: cake mix, a can of pop (swapped in for eggs and oil — smart, right?), frosting, candles, balloons, a sign, noise makers, napkins, and simple instructions.

Because every kid deserves cake and candles on their birthday, no exceptions. So proud of this crew for turning a team activity into something that'll actually make someone's day.

Skill testing question: Which industries report the most critical injuries?

Bet you didn’t think of retail — but in 2024, it had the second-highest injury reports in Ontario.

More needs to be done to protect these workers. High numbers of young and temporary staff — with little experience — mean greater risk and a stronger need for safe work practices.

That’s why the Ontario At Work is running two province-wide inspection campaign to raise awareness of common hazards and ensure stores are meeting their responsibilities under the Occupational Health and Safety Act.

If an inspector stopped by your shop, would you pass the test?

Get inspection ready! We’re here to help, with free practical resources.

What works for the farm down the road may not work for yours.
Different equipment. Different people. Different jobs. Different hazards.

That's why farm safety shouldn't be one-size-fits-all.

In the latest Farm Safety Roundup, Shaun Haney sits down with lifelong farmer and WSPS C Specialized Consultant Kristin Hoffman to talk about what farm safety that fits actually looks like.

From figuring out where to start and identifying the hazards specific to your operation, to keeping safety going when planting or harvest gets busy, the conversation is full of practical ideas that can fit into the way you already work.

You don't need to change everything overnight.

Start with your farm. Start with your risks. Start from there.

If you run a grocery store, your team could be at risk, and you might not even realize it. The top injury risk in Ontario's grocery retail sector is musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs).

MSDs are injuries and pains affecting the muscles, tendons, and nerves. They can be caused by lifting, reaching, and handling products. From unloading trucks to scanning groceries, every task adds up, even if the risk isn't always visible.

Check out this article for practical tips on preventing MSDs and understanding what causes them. Safer shifts mean healthier workers and a stronger business: https://hubs.li/Q04tYV_20

Noise at work is getting more attention from the Ontario At Work (MLITSD), and inspections are happening now.

Inspectors will be reviewing how workplaces are managing noise and protecting workers’ hearing, not just from very loud sounds, but from everyday noise that are above the legal limit.

During inspections, officers are checking whether workers are exposed to noise levels over 85 dBA during their workday. This includes things like observing regular tasks, equipment, work areas where noise is present and ask what the employer has done to minimize noise levels.

If you haven’t checked noise levels in your workplace yet, now is the time. Knowing where noise risks exist can help protect workers and avoid issues during an inspection.

Not sure where to start? WSPS can help. We provide tools and support to help you understand noise exposure and take simple steps to reduce the risk.

Inspections are underway. Get support from WSPS and be prepared. https://hubs.li/Q04vvfNF0
