Results of “Young and New Workers” Blitz

3/8/2012

0 Comments

 
"Every day in Ontario, nearly 50 young workers under age 25 are injured or killed on the job. Research shows that both young and new workers are four times more likely to be injured during their first month of employment than at any other time." [source]

Health and Safety Ontario recently published a great article summarizing the results of the blitz. Click hereto access the article. We have summarized below.

Recently the Ministry of Labour released the results of their 2011 "Young and New Workers Blitz"results. The blitz took place between May 2011 and August 2011. About 3000 workplaces were visited and over 10,000 orders were issued. 214 of those were stop work orders.

What was this blitz focusing on?
  1. New young workers from 14 to 24 years of age
  2. New workers aged 25 and older who have been on the job less than six months or reassigned to a new job
  3. Checking whether these workers are properly instructed, trained and supervised, are working in accordance with the requirements of the Occupational Health and Safety Act, and meet the minimum age requirements prescribed for the work they are doing.
The three sectors issued the most work orders were Retail, Restaurants, and Tourism, Hospitality and Recreational Services.

Read the Top 10 most frequently issued orders relating to the failure to:
  1. take reasonable precautions to protect the health and safety of workers
  2. prepare and review a health and safety policy and develop a program to implement the policy
  3. maintain equipment in good condition
  4. provide workers with information, instruction and supervision to protect their health and safety
  5. post a copy of the act in the workplace
  6. have a health and safety representative
  7. assess the risk of workplace violence
  8. have a workplace violence and harassment policy in place
  9. conduct workplace inspections by a health and safety representative or JHSC member
  10. comply with machine guarding and lockout requirements
