Struck-By Hazards and Ministry Enforcement

Struck-By Hazards and Ministry Enforcement

At a busy workplace, there’s always something being moved around—materials, mobile equipment, vehicles, you name it. But each of these puts workers at risk. Struck-by hazards account for nearly one-third of all lost-time injury claims in Ontario. They are also a significant cause of workplace fatalities.

This episode of the IHSA Safety Podcast welcomes Guy Taillon, a provincial specialist with the Construction Health and Safety Program for the Ministry of Labour, Immigration, Training, and Skills Development. He discusses the major causes of struck-by incidents in the industries that IHSA serves, why struck-bys are the focus of an ongoing Ministry education and enforcement campaign, and what businesses can expect if a Ministry inspector comes to their workplace. Because improving compliance and controlling struck-by hazards is everyone’s responsibility. IHSA’s Andrew Harnum also details the association’s many resources—available to employers, supervisors, and workers—that are designed to make everyone safer when working around vehicles and equipment.
