The Public Services Health and Safety Association (PSHSA) of Toronto, Ontario was recently recognized by Canadian Occupational Safety as a 5-Star Safety and Training award winner.
The distinction comes after thousands of surveys and interviews were conducted by COS researchers to determine the top performers across the country. Participants rated organizations across a range of criteria, including quality of training topics, training feedback, pricing, and online platforms. Overall results proved PSHSA’s leadership in the field.
“It’s an honour to be recognized for the work that we do every day to make workplaces across the province safer and healthier,” says Rebekah Warner, director, market optimization and client experience at PSHSA.
“This award is a tribute to our experienced and committed team who is advancing our strategy and supporting the workers and organizations that place their trust in us.”
PSHSA creates safer workplaces by focusing on collaboration, innovation, and knowledge transfer. Their goal is to enable healthier and safer environments for Ontario’s public sector community by staying ahead of evolving needs and providing the necessary resources, tools, products, and OHS guidance.
“Employers are recognizing that an investment in healthy and safe workplaces is important, and prevention is critical in reducing absenteeism, WSIB claims, and improving employee wellbeing,” Warner explains.
“PSHSA provides these workplaces with the comprehensive assistance they need to make their health and safety goals a reality.”
With the pandemic bringing heightened awareness of employee health and safety and triggering operational re-strategizing across every industry, Warner says PSHSA was able to support workplaces in meeting their employees’ evolving needs.
An example of this is the Training the Fit Tester for Respiratory Protection program developed and implemented by PSHSA subsequent to a December 2021 directive issued by the Ontario Ministry of Health. This program required all employees caring for or interacting with anyone exhibiting COVID-19 symptoms to have access to a fit-tested, seal-checked N95 respirator or an approved equivalent.
“Now, we have much more frequent recognition awards because we want to celebrate people staying at CAAT and recognize the contributions that they bring to the organization”

Fillmore Construction was founded by Brent Fillmore in 1991. He was looking to start his own small construction business and the opportunity presented itself with many repeat client relationships. Through lessons learned from 13 years of managing projects, developing business and holding various VP roles with his previous employer, Brent formulated his own approach to running his company. He knew that the key to success was based on relationships and bringing repeated value to them. He was dedicated to the idea that one does not need hundreds of clients and instead must focus on ensuring that a smaller pool of clients was given the best service possible. With over 40 years of construction management experience Brent has remarkable expertise in nearly every facet of the construction industry.

“In-person learning was not an option at that time so implementing this government directive was a challenge for workplaces,” says Warner. “Our three-part Training the Fit Tester for Respiratory Protection program ensured more healthcare workers were compliant and safe on the job. The program continues to this day.”
PSHSA prioritizes excellence through customer-centric frameworks and outcome-based initiatives. Their consultants prepare workplaces to be compliant with legislative and regulatory requirements, and address needs and concerns specific to workplaces, industries, locations, or employees.
PSHSA health and safety consultants working in the field are experts in everything from ergonomics to psychological health and safety. They conduct webinars, offer in-person and online instruction, and provide e-learning modules that allow students to study at their own pace. Many of these opportunities are available free of charge.
“As an organization, we continue to innovate and learn from the latest in the occupational health and safety sector to meet the needs of evolving workplaces. Evidence-based and effective workplace health and safety solutions are more important than ever, and these solutions need to be – and are with PSHSA – accessible, integrated and optimized for the end user across a variety of platforms.”
PSHSA is equipped and ready for whatever the future holds. It encourages organizations looking to adjust or improve workplace health and safety protocols to reach out.
