Ontario Trying to Streamline Health and Safety Training

The Ontario Government is trying to help small businesses train their staff more efficiently.

During the candidate’s meetings that went on through the election process, some candidates and voters feel that small businesses are the backbone of the economy in Haliburton County. Ontario officials are offering three steps to follow to make health and safety training go that much quicker and smoother.

The first step is to engage all of your staff in health and safety training. The government says engaging all of your staff in that process “gives your business a competitive advantage. With fewer disruptions and delays in production or service.”
