Mississauga, ON: October 1, 2016 - Workplace Safety & Prevention Services (WSPS) is pleased to team up with its Health and Safety Ontario partners to participate in Global Ergonomics Month, an international initiative to raise awareness of ergonomics and musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). Themed, Work Shouldn't Hurt, the Ontario outreach campaign is intended to raise awareness about potential MSD hazards in the workplace and to provide tips for working smarter, not harder.

SUDBURY, SEPTEMBER 19, 2016 - Workplace Safety & Prevention Services (WSPS) is pleased to welcome former NHL goal-tender Clint Malarchuk as keynote speaker for its annual Partners in Prevention Northeastern health and safety conference. Though he played for 11 seasons in the NHL, Malarchuk's name is forever linked to an incident in 1989 when his throat was slashed by a skate while tending goal for the Buffalo Sabres. That workplace accident nearly took his life.

"Too complicated" is a common misconception that Harry Stewart, WSPS' Director, Small Business, hears when discussing health and safety with member firms, especially small businesses. "Costly, intrusive and inefficient" are others.

It's a truism that every employer wants their people to arrive home safe at the end of the day. But truisms weren't enough for JSW Manufacturing, a small, family-run metal fabrication company in Bracebridge, Ontario.
