What the Ministry of Labour does

As a business owner in Ontario, it is important that you understand how the Ontario Ministry of Labour (MOL) affects your business.

The Ontario Ministry of Labour, Training and Skills Development oversees labour relations and is responsible for enforcing two key laws — the Ontario Employment Standards Act (ESA) and the Ontario Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA).

Provincially regulated workplaces must operate in compliance with the MOL regulations. Non-compliance with the law could result in penalties, fines, and prosecution. Our experts can help you prepare for and pass MOL workplace inspections with ease. We’ll ensure you are checking off the right boxes and fulfilling your obligations as an employer.

Ontario Ministry of Labour and Workplace Inspections

The Ministry of Labour Ontario conducts regular workplace inspections to ensure compliance with the Occupational Health & Safety Act (OHSA).

MOL health & safety inspectors conduct inspections, issue fines and orders, and can carry out prosecutions. Health & safety inspections are of two types:

Proactive: These are regular health & safety audits to ensure compliance with OHSA – and are typically unannounced.

Reactive: These are in response to a complaint or a workplace incident (work refusal, critical injury, occupational illnesses, etc.)

Businesses found non-compliant with the OHSA may be fined up to $1,500,000.
