In Canada, employers have an obligation to provide legislatively required training courses. These courses must meet the needs of their workplace and should prevent health and safety incidents. Failure to provide mandatory employee training in Ontario may result in significant financial and legal consequences. Without training, employees may be placed in danger, resulting in increased workplace accidents\u2014which may include injuries, illness, or fatalities\u2014financial impacts, loss of productivity, and legal implications. By learning to understand risks and hazards<\/a> through training, employees can protect themselves and others from injury or illness on the job.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Must-have employee training in Ontario<\/strong> for 2024<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For most employers, Ontario legislation mandates certain types of training. Employers may also have additional training needs related to their industry, place of work, or jurisdiction. For example, workers in jobs with higher risk (such as jobs in construction and manufacturing<\/a>) may require more frequent or intensive instruction, or specialized training.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Organizations must ensure all new and current employees have completed the necessary training, and provide additional training when changes or updates are made. Refer to our Compliance Centre<\/a> to keep on top of changing health and safety legal requirements for your jurisdiction.
