OFL and Prevention Link Welcome Ontario’s New Chief Prevention Officer

March 6, 2018

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE                                                                              

Statement from Rob Halpin, Executive Director of the Ontario Federation of Labour and Prevention Link

(TORONTO, ON) ─ The Ontario Federation of Labour (OFL) and Prevention Link warmly welcome Ron Kelusky, a veteran in the occupational health and safety sector, as the new Chief Prevention Officer for the province.

We are all responsible — employers, supervisors and workers — for preventing workplace illness and injury and the voice of Labour is a crucial ally and advocate in this effort. We look forward to working with Mr. Kelusky in placing increased emphasis on the links between primary and secondary prevention of occupational injury, illness and disease in workplaces throughout the province.

We applaud George Gritziotis, Ontario’s first Chief Prevention Officer, for assisting us in expanding and revitalizing the Prevention Link Program which builds on more than 25 years of success operating as the Occupational Disability Response Team as one of Ontario’s comprehensive prevention programs.

Collaboratively with Mr. Kelusky, we hope to diversify our holistic and comprehensive disability prevention program and continue to drive the vision, goals and priorities outlined in the Chief Prevention Officer’s strategic framework for building healthy and safe Ontario workplaces.

Prevention Link, a Government of Ontario supported initiative, governed by the Ontario Federation of Labour Executive Committee, is the leading provider of training and advisory support on secondary prevention of workplace injury in the province.

The OFL represents 54 unions and one million workers in Ontario. For information, visit www.OFL.ca and follow @OFLabour on Facebook and Twitter.
