Ontario Protecting Workers on Construction Sites

May 23, 2025

The government will soon introduce first-in-Canada changes that will, if passed, create safer workplaces for construction workers by requiring automatic external defibrillators (AEDs) at construction sites. The proposal is part of a larger package in the coming days that will expand on the ground-breaking actions across six previous Working for Workers Acts since 2021 as well as the lifesaving changes introduced in 2022 that require naloxone kits in at-risk workplaces.
