Ontario is set to extend workplace safety and insurance coverage to health-care and support workers in privately operated retirement homes and group homes. Labour Minister David Piccini emphasizes that front-line care workers need protection in case of job-related incidents. Currently, these facilities are not required to provide mandatory coverage under the Workplace Safety and Insurance Act. The extension aims to protect approximately 29,000 workers, including nurses and personal support workers, ensuring they receive support if injured or ill on the job.
