OSBCU Report on the Ministry of Labour, Immigration, Training, and Skills Development Initiative Workplace Violence in the Education Sector 2022-2023
MLITSD health and safety enforcement inspectors conducted over 340 visits to schools and board offices in Ontario. The OSBCU, along with other allied unions and associations, collected and charted many of the inspector’s field visit reports. During the initiative, inspectors issued approximately 114 orders of non-compliance with the Occupational Health and Safety Act (“OHSA”), including seven (7) requirements to provide documentation to inspectors. Still, we observed many instances where inspectors reported non-compliance with the OHSA but refused to issue time-based orders. Instead, the inspectors allowed employers to self-comply in the circumstances.
