Prevention Office: Prevention Officer

Ministry Of Labour Dept: Tony Dean, who conducted the year-long probe, is recommending sweeping changes to the system, including more inspections and enforcement, better laws and regulations to protect workers and action on combating underground activity in the construction industry, such as after-hours inspections, according to CTV. The office should "create, implement and audit training standards" and develop a multi-year strategy "that will significantly reduce public tolerance of workplace injuries, illnesses and fatalities," the report said and it's among 46 recommendations from a investigation sparked by the deaths of four immigrant, non-union workers who died last Christmas Eve after plunging 13 floors from a Toronto highrise when their scaffolding broke. A fifth man was seriously injured. He's urging the province to establish a prevention office and a chief prevention officer within the Ministry of Labour with the power to make the changes, such as mandatory safety training for every construction worker and supervisor responsible for frontline workers. As reported in the news.
