Ontario’s Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB) has extended double rebates through the Health and Safety Excellence program until the end of 2024 for small business.
The program is meant to help smaller businesses prioritize improving health and safety.
Small businesses (with up to 99 full-time employees) can earn double the rebates in both 2023 and 2024, and receive $1,000 toward their health and safety plan in both 2023 and 2024.
The Health and Safety Excellence program connects businesses with approved providers in their industry or community who help design a plan based on 39 available health and safety topics. For each topic completed, businesses can earn a rebate on their WSIB premiums. Since its inception in 2020, the program has distributed over $45 million in rebates.
