Ministry of Labour Headlines July 2011 Workplace deaths have jumped 16 per cent in Ontario during the last year despite a government push for better job safety and prompting one labour leader to brand the situation “a national disgrace.” Ontario statistics show 377 workers died on the job or from occupational disease in that ended March 31, an increase of 53 from the previous year.

Ministry of Labour Headlines July 2011 A breakdown of the figures from the Ministry of Labour and Workplace Safety and Insurance Board reveals that job fatalities alone climbed by 11 in the latest year or 15 per cent to 84. The same data indicates that lost time injury and illness rates have continued to fall in the last decade. Those key rates dropped almost seven per cent to 4.16 accident claims receiving approval for compensation per 100 full-time equivalent workers in the latest year. Samuel Safety Systems

Ontario Federation of Labour Comments “Every year, it’s still 80 or more workers in our province who die,” Sid Ryan (president of Ontario Federation of Labour) said. “It’s a national disgrace. Shouldn’t we as a society, place more value on a human life? Yet, it’s regarded as the cost of doing business.” Ryan said police have the authority to lay charges for negligence in on-the-job deaths that can mean jail time under the Criminal Code but they have not exercised that power enough. “We say ‘kill a worker, go to jail,’ ” said Ryan. “We are only going to see a drop in fatalities when we start to see CEOs or front line supervisors go to jail as a result of workers getting killed.
