If you have a Health & Safety concern, please discuss it with your Direct Supervisor. You are welcome to consult a Health & Safety Representative about it as well, if your work-site has one. Anyone can report a health and safety issue.

If the Health & Safety concern is still present after it was discussed with a Direct Supervisor (note: your employer has 21 days to respond to a recommendation) and/or if you feel you cannot raise the issue with your Direct Supervisor or a Health & Safety Representative, you can file a Health & Safety Complaint directly with the Ministry of Labour, here:
https://www.ontario.ca/page/filing-workplace-health-and-safety-complaint

If you believe you have been fired or punished for exercising your rights under the Occupational Health & Safety Act, you can file a reprisal complaint with the Ontario Labour Relations Board (OLRB).
