    Yet challenges remain. New technologies, remote work, psychosocial risks, and climate change continue to test how we think about safety. The spirit of the OHSA reminds us: protecting workers is never “done”—it’s a living responsibility that must be renewed every day.

    I’ve shared some reflections on the history, impact, and future of the OHSA in my latest article.

All too often, these workers must battle within a workers’ compensation system that was built to support them but fails to meet their needs. This unjust process is unacceptable for injured workers who are simply seeking the compensation and benefits they are owed. Learn more and sign the petition here:
