Ontario organizations operating forklifts and other lifting devices should expect to see more inspections from the Ministry of Labour this month, according to a statement from Labour Minister Peter Fonseca.

Ontario is committed to making workplaces safer, evidenced by a recent three-month enforcement blitz of more than 2,800 high-risk construction sites. And, with the announcement of two new tools – a workplace violence toolkit and now a severance pay entitlement tool and calculator – to helping employers to meet their employment obligations, said Ontario labour minister Peter Fonseca,  to a packed opening session of a new Ontario health and safety event.
