Institute for Work and Health Issues Report on the Effectiveness of Ontario’s working at Heights Training Standard

The Report provides valuable insight into the effectiveness of this training standard.

The construction industry invested 3 years and tens of millions of dollars in providing training to about 4500 of workers whom work at heights.

Unfortunately many are not fully implementing their training and are suffering severe and often traumatic results.

Last year the Ontario industry experienced 13 fall from height fatalities, a dramatic increase over recent years. OGCA has written the Chief Prevention Officer and we will soon meet to discuss next steps.
