Your job satisfaction and good health are "important to you, your employer and the productivity of Ontario's economy. Safe and healthy workers are better workers, and concerned, well-informed employers are better employers. That's why your Ontario Government has established the Occupational Health and Safety Division within the Ontario Ministry of Labour. The Division communicates and works with employers and employees alike, encouraging all concerned to do everything possible to prevent injury or illness in the workplace. It does this by: ® conducting regular programs of inspections and audits to ensure compliance with the legislation; e providing advisory, consultative and technical services on health and safety matters; ® promoting internal labour-management responsibility for maintaining a safe and healthy workplace; ® reviewing proposed plans for new projects in the pre-development stages to avoid "building in" potential hazards. The new Division is dedicated to the control and elimination of occupational health and safety hazards with ongoing research, educational programs and -- if need be -- corrective action when cooperation doesn't work. A booklet spelling out in detail the activities of the Occupational Health and Safety Division is being distributed to employers. If you would like a copy, contact your nearest Ministry of Labour office. And work in good health! Bette Stephenson, M.D., Ni % Minister of Labour William Davis, Premier Province of Ontario
