Workplace Safety & Prevention Services | 2
By its very nature, the goal of an annual report is to showcase the
past. However, as 2017 represents the home stretch of a three-year
strategic plan that began in 2014, it is important to view the year as
not only the culmination of our efforts and accomplishments, but as a
springboard into the future.
Workplace Safety & Prevention Services (WSPS) has come a long way
since our inception in 2010, when the Industrial Accident Prevention
Association, Ontario Service Safety Alliance and Farm Safety
Association merged to form Ontario's largest health and safety
association. Today, we serve 167,000 member firms and 4.1 million
workers in the province's manufacturing, agricultural and service sectors.
In terms of achieving our objectives, 2017 was a very successful year
and it was also a year of transition. The nature of work is changing
at an ever-accelerating pace and new areas of health, safety and
wellness are constantly emerging. The stories in this report show how
we are adapting to change and collaborating with our prevention
system, community, strategic and industry partners to keep people
healthy and safe. They include initiatives from the past year that will
have a lasting impact as we move forward.
