New!  Call for Applications: 
Health and Safety Association for Government Services

The Health and Safety Association for Government Services (HSAGS) is a not for profit corporation created as a result of a restructuring of Ontario’s health and safety associations.  Its creation marks the beginning of a new approach to delivering prevention services in Ontario. 

HSAGS is the amalgamation of the Education Safety Association of Ontario (ESAO), the Municipal Health and Safety Association (MHSA), and the Ontario Safety Association for Community and Healthcare (OSACH).   As of January 1, 2010, it is one of four new health and safety associations designated and funded by the WSIB pursuant to section 6(1) of the Workplace Safety and Insurance Act, 1997.  As such, HSAGS will play a key role in the Ontario health and safety system’s Road to Zero commitment to eliminate workplace fatalities, injuries and illnesses.

HSAGS is seeking for candidates who are employers and workers with leadership experience from Ontario’s education sector, community and healthcare sector, and the municipal sector who have vision, leadership, and commitment. This is an opportunity to provide leadership in the health and safety field within these communities and help HSAGS meet client needs.  This is also an opportunity for your organization to be recognized as a leader in healthy workplaces.

Applications will be accepted until March 8, 2010.
