The Infrastructure Health and Safety Association (IHSA) would encourage your company to explore the health and safety prevention opportunities and financial incentives that are available to your firm through the Construction/Electrical and Utilities Safety Group.
The Safety Groups Program is a Rebate Incentive Program administered by the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB). It recognizes firms that integrate health and safety into their management systems Success is measured by injury/illness prevention activities and firms that participate may receive WSIB Rate Group rebates. The better the Group's performance, the larger the rebate they receive from the WSIB.
