Health and Safety in the Kindergarten to Grade 12 Ontario Curriculum The Ministry of Labour and the Ministry of Education have partnered to produce a resource guide that identifies learning expectations and opportunities on personal safety, safe behaviours and practices in the current K-12 English and French curricula. The resource guide is called Health and Safety in the Ontario Curriculum: Scope and Sequence of Expectations and shows that a strong foundation for health and safety learning, knowledge and skills exists in Ontario’s schools. Please visit the Ministry of Education’s website to read the complete resource guides for Grades 1-8 and the Kindergarten Program, and Grades 9-12!

The MOL has made some updates to the classification of a critical injury and we thought you would like to see this. Clause 1(d) of Regulation 834 stipulates that an injury of a serious nature is a "critical injury" if it involves the fracture of a leg or arm but not a finger or toe. The Ministry of Labour interprets this provision as including the fracture of a wrist, hand, ankle or foot i.e. any such fracture would constitute a critical injury if it is of a serious nature.... While the fracture of a single finger or single toe does not constitute a critical injury, the ministry takes the position that the fracture of more than one finger or more than one toe does constitute a critical injury if it is an injury of a serious nature. Clause 1(e) of Regulation 834 stipulates that an injury of a serious nature is a "critical injury" if it involves the amputation of a leg, arm, hand or foot but not a finger or toe. While the amputation of a single finger or single toe does not constitute a critical injury, the ministry takes the position that the amputation of more than one finger or more than one toe does constitute a critical injury if it is an injury of a serious nature. A critical injury must be reported under s. 51 of the Occupational Health and Safety Act if there is a connection between the hazard that gave rise to the injury and worker health and safety. This notice is intended to provide clarity around the application of clauses (d) and (e) of the critical injury definition. The legal definition of a critical injury set out in Regulation 834 has not changed. https://www.labour.gov.on.ca/english/hs/critical_injury.php
