Ontario Protecting the Health and Safety of Paramedics

Monte McNaughton, Minister of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development, was joined by Sylvia Jones, Deputy Premier and Minister of Health to announce how the government is working to ensure paramedics get home safe.

The government is establishing a Paramedic Services Committee under the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA) to develop resources that address the unique health and safety risks these frontline heroes face.

The Paramedic Services Committee will provide Minister McNaughton with technical expertise and sector-specific advice on health and safety issues, including recommending regulatory changes and actions on emerging issues.
