Prevention Link - Disability Prevention at Work

Provide workplace insurance and disability prevention training and advisory services to Ontario workers and workplaces

Building on the more than 30 years of success of the Occupational Disability Response Team (ODRT), Prevention Link will use the latest industry and sector data available to better understand the areas of greatest need to focus and direct its outreach and intervention efforts. With the support of Ontario’s Ministry of Labour Prevention Office, Prevention Link has been improved to better represent i

ts renewed ‘secondary prevention’ focus. It will build on the experience and success of a network of workplace-based volunteers to enhance primary and secondary prevention of workplace injury and illness. Initial prevention of injury and illness as well as preventing re-injury after return to work benefits both workers and employers.

It’s workers, training workers. So, there are people that are already helping injured workers. They’ve been on the shop floor. They’ve been in the positions that workers have. And you really get that connection between the instructors and with the people taking that course. That’s very, very important.” —Stephanie Gunson, United Steelworkers
