WSIB Health & Safety Excellence Program Overview

Running a business can be tough. But building a strong safety program shouldn’t be.

Whether you’re just getting started or ready to take your health and safety program to the next level, the Health and Safety Excellence program has options to support you. Choose from two program streams designed to fit different business sizes, needs, and goals, each offering financial incentives, expert guidance, and practical tools.

Any business with an active WSIB account can participate, and organizations that don’t pay WSIB premiums (Schedule 2) are eligible for non financial rewards.

Select the Health and Safety Excellence program stream that works best for your business and start building a safer workplace with confidence.
