WorkWell Audit and Occupational Health and Safety Compliance in Ontario.

In 1998 the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB) introduced a new approach to workplace safety in Ontario emphasizing prevention to reduce work-related injuries. Their workplace inspection audit program is called WorkWell. Today, more than ever, these high standards are being enforced in every industry and in every business.
