2019 ONTARIO SAFETY GROUPS
What is WSIB Safety Groups
WSIB Safety Groups is a performance-based premium rebate program for businesses in Ontario. Safety Groups was first imple-
mented in 2000 and it is a program where companies collectively work on key safety initiatives designed to reduce injury
frequency and severity. By participating, your business can earn rebates of up to 5% back on your annual WSIB premiums,
all while improving your workplace health & safety. This is accomplished though mentoring, pooling of resources and sharing of
best practices between members, Dunk & Associates (your sponsor), and the WSIB. Safety Group members can reduce their
workplace injuries and illnesses and be rewarded back with a potential rebate. Our objective in the Dunk & Associates Safety
Group is simple – to help you eliminate workplace injuries and illness, reduce WSIB costs, and help you truly create a healthy
workplace culture.
Why Join Our Group Breakdown of our Group
Dunk & Associates has been a Safety Groups Sponsor since 2003. As one of the WSIB’s Healthcare
largest sponsors, in 2018 we had over 280+ businesses/locations participate in our program.
We are tried and true and know how to make the program work. Retail
Our group is a multi-sector group who focuses on small to mid-sized businesses and corpo- Industrial/
rate businesses with multiple locations/franchises. We are one of the only Safety Group Manufacturing
Sponsors who serves all of Ontario, regardless of geographic region. We host our mandato-
ry meetings virtually by webinar making it easy for you to attend and, if requested, we can do Services
site visits anywhere in Ontario for an additional fee.

amount. But it’s not just about the money, there are also many other great incentives to And More!
participate in our program.
Our Success
Over the past five years, our Safety Group has averaged as one of the top five firms to receive the highest percentage of rebates
when compared to other Safety Groups. In 2017, we achieved, on average, 4.66% back of the potential 5% for our participating
firms. Want to know what that means for you? Look at your current premiums! Many of our firms receive thousands back,
covering the costs of the program and more.
How it Works
Safety Groups runs from January to December of each calendar year. At the beginning of the year, you select five health and
safety elements (e.g., hazard recognition and assessment) plus one group element to target and set goals in your action plan.
You learn how to develop and track these goals during the webinar meetings.
In 2019 our group element is Workplace Violence and Harassment. We’ll be focusing on
mental stress, psychological hazards, substance abuse, and how to recognize, assess, control
and evaluate these hazards. This is a hot topic in health and safety and unchartered territory
for many employers. By joining our Safety Group Program, we’ll give you the tools to create
effective programs to reduce your risk of a costly claim.

“Dunk & Associates is a helpful resource. I can pick up the phone and get support and guidance at any
time. They are here for me to answer my questions. If it’s needed, I can even talk directly with the owner
– there’s not a lot of businesses like that. The online program also allows me to easily manage my safety
program. Having it all online reduces the work load and makes it easy for people to step into new roles.
With the rebates we receive participating in the Safety Groups program, the program ends up paying for
itself.” – Scott Smith, Canadian Tire Kanata
