WSIB's Small Business Health and Safety Leadership Awards

We are pleased to share details about an exciting launch from the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB).

Applications for our Small Business Health and Safety Leadership Awards are now open. This year, our awards will recognize Ontario’s small businesses that showed exemplary health and safety during the pandemic and went the extra mile to keep their employees and customers safe.

The top three businesses will receive a monetary prize, $5,000 (gold), $3,000 (silver), $2,000 (bronze), and recognition at a ceremony in November. The first place winner will also be featured in a promotional video.

We know the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic have been especially hard on small businesses, which is why we want to show them our support. Our awards shine a light on those outstanding and resilient small business leaders who remained committed to health and safety throughout these challenging times.

Any Ontario business with fewer than 50 employees is eligible and applications can be completed online through our website. Businesses have until October 5, 2020 to apply.
