Occupational Health and Safety Program - vote 1604
Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Program's primary mandate is the setting, communicating and enforcing of the occupational health and safety legislation and regulations, and coordinating Ontario's workplace injury and illness prevention system to reduce or eliminate workplace injury or illness.
Largely through inspections and investigations of workplaces, the OHS program monitors compliance with the Occupational Health and Safety Act (the Act), and assists workplace parties in securing a healthy and safe working environment. Through the administration and enforcement of the Act and its regulations, it encourages employers and workers to cooperatively identify and control health and safety hazards.
The Prevention Office is responsible for initiatives aimed at preventing occupational injuries, illness and fatalities in Ontario. This includes the development of a province-wide health and safety strategy to align OHS priorities across all system partners, and related implementation activities such as mandatory workplace health and safety training, standards, research and awareness. The Prevention Office establishes standards for, and approval of high risk training programs and providers; as well as requirements for certification of joint health and safety committee members. It also oversees prevention research and innovation grants programs which provide funding to recipients who meet specific eligibility criteria. Through transfer payment agreements, the office designates and maintains oversight of Health and Safety Associations, who offer specific training, consulting and clinical services.
The Office of the Worker Adviser (OWA) provides advisory, representation and educational services to non-unionized injured workers and survivors in workplace insurance cases, including representation before the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board and the Workplace Safety and Insurance Appeals Tribunal. The OWA also provides the same range of services to non-unionized workers in reprisal complaint cases under Section 50 of the Occupational Health and Safety Act, including representation at the Ontario Labour Relations Board.
The Office of the Employer Adviser (OEA) provides advisory and educational services to all Ontario employers and representation services primarily to smaller employers, with fewer than 100 employees, with regard to workplace safety insurance matters before the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board and the Workplace Safety and Insurance Appeals Tribunal. The OEA also provides representation services to employers with fewer than 50 workers at the Ontario Labour Relations Board in reprisal complaint cases under Section 50 of the Occupational Health and Safety Act.

Employment Ontario - vote 1607
Employment Ontario (EO), Ontario's employment and training network, makes it easier for employers to access a skilled workforce and for Ontarians to find the employment and training programs and services they need. To remain competitive in the current and future economy, investments in education and skills training play a critical role in preparing people for jobs that ensure future prosperity in the knowledge-based economy. EO programs and services fall into five categories: Apprenticeship, Employment Supports and Services, Skills Training, Adult Education, and Labour Market Development and System Features.
The majority of EO programs and services are delivered through the EO system, composed of Ontario’s community-based network including employment service providers, literacy providers, public colleges, direct delivery apprenticeship offices and training delivery agents. EO aims to deliver integrated, customer-focused and effective employment and training to advance Ontario’s economic advantage. The program area also leads labour market analysis and workforce development policies and strategies to facilitate connections between the economy, training and education institutions, employers and job seekers.
The Office of the Fairness Commissioner works with the regulated professions and compulsory trades in Ontario to ensure that registration practices are transparent, objective, impartial and fair. The work of the office helps ensure that people are treated fairly and can put their skills and experience to work, regardless of if they were educated domestically or internationally and applies to both Canadians who have gone abroad for training and immigrants.
The Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program works in partnership with the Government of Canada through Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada to recognize and nominate people for permanent residence who have the skills and experience Ontario's economy needs.
