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.

From the early struggles that led to the Ham Commission, to the introduction of WHMIS and the right to refuse unsafe work, the OHSA has transformed workplaces across the province. It gave workers rights, established shared responsibility, and set the foundation for prevention.

Tesla (Austin factory) fined $49K with 3 citations deemed "serious” for safety violations resulting in the electrocution death of a worker. Safety issues cited include: a lack of protective equipment, lax safety policy, inadequate safeguards on dangerous machinery and failing to post warning signs or notify workers of the risks. https://www.expressnews.com/business/article/osha-fine-tesla-worker-death-safety-violations-20203547.php #Tesla #SafetyViolations #OHSA #Austin #Safety #workplacesafety

Remember the ‘Let it Rip’ COVID strategy? That’s what the US is now in for in every possible category. #ClimateChange, #EnvironmentalProtection, #FoodSafety, #OHSA. You name it.

That’s what ‘dismantling the administrative state’ means.
