Because unsafe firms increase health and safety costs for everyone, the WSIB performs on-site health and safety evaluations of workplaces that have consistently poor safety records. Based on these evaluations, employers can be assessed premium increases in addition to any other surcharges that have been levied. Evaluated employers receive a report on health and safety problems found in their workplace and recommendations for improvement.

Program Details 
The Workplace Safety and Insurance Act allows the WSIB to use actual workplace conditions as a factor in determining a firm’s premiums. The WSIB evaluates these conditions by touring employers’ workplaces, examining health and safety programs, observing health and safety practices, and interviewing workers.
