Ontario to Require Defibrillators on Construction Sites

  • The Ontario government will require automatic external defibrillators on construction sites with at least 20 workers and lasting over three months.
  • This change builds on previous safety acts and responds to industry stakeholder recommendations from consultations during earlier labour legislation.
  • The government plans to include the AED requirement in a broader legislative package aimed at enhancing workplace safety and combating worker abuse.
  • Labour Minister David Piccini emphasized that new regulations requiring AEDs on construction sites aim to safeguard Ontario’s workforce, while RESCON’s vice-president Andrew Pariser highlighted that this initiative has the potential to prevent fatalities.
  • Companies can get reimbursed for AED costs averaging $2,300 through a Workplace Safety and Insurance Board program, supporting safer conditions for construction workers.
