Toronto, March 31, 2025 – The Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB) announced today that it has partnered with the Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety to provide all WSIB-registered businesses free access to the centre’s new Business Safety Portal.
The partnership will save WSIB-registered businesses up to $1,700 annually on the Business Safety Portal subscription fee.
“This one’s on us and is another way we’re helping people to invest in their businesses during these uncertain times,” said Jeff Lang, WSIB President and CEO. “Last month we delivered $2 billion in surplus rebates and now with free access to valuable health and safety resources, businesses can better protect their people from a workplace injury.”
The Business Safety Portal is an online hub that offers a range of industry-specific and scalable resources, like templates, online courses and practical manuals businesses can use to help make their workplace safer and help them meet their legal obligations.
“We created the Business Safety Portal to address the unique health and safety challenges faced by these owners and employers,” said Anne Tennier, President and CEO of the Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety. “We’re proud to partner with WSIB as they roll out free access to the portal for Ontario businesses. We all share the goal of providing easy access to credible tools and resources that can help keep workplaces and workers safe.”
The partnership is part of the WSIB’s commitment to help move the needle on workplace health and safety.
“We will never be satisfied with the status quo,” Lang said. “Access to these resources is a value-add for every Ontario business and has the power to improve health and safety outcomes and reduce injury rates. We’re proud to do it.”
To access the Business Safety Portal, businesses can simply log in to their WSIB account at wsib.ca. Businesses can also earn rebates on their WSIB premiums and receive $1,000 every time they create a new health and safety action plan in the Health and Safety Excellence program.
“Health and safety isn’t a ‘nice to have.’ It’s a necessity,” said Rod Cook, WSIB Vice President of Workplace Health and Safety Services. “Business owners invest so much in their business and we want to help them keep their people safe.”
