Worker's Health and Safety Center
The Workers Health & Safety Centre was established by the Ontario Federation of Labour
in 1979. At the beginning, they received most of their funding through a $400,000 annual
grant from the Ontario Lottery Corporation. After a few years of steady growth, their
funding began coming from the Worker's Compensation Board.
Their purpose is to promote workplace prevention measures
that reduce occupational disease, disability and death. Their aim is to equip and
encourage workers to promote the well-being of other workers and improve the health and
safety environment within their workplaces.
