Electrical Safety for Ontario — At Work, Home and in Public Places
At the Electrical Safety Authority (ESA), we anticipate, understand and prevent electrical-related harms so we can improve electrical safety for Ontarians. To achieve our goal, ESA engages in activities including: identifying and targeting leading causes of electrical safety risk; ensuring compliance with regulations; promoting awareness, education and training; and working with stakeholders to gain insight.
We continuously improve the way we work to ensure Ontario remains safe from electrical harm.
Understanding Harms: Data and Trends
The Ontario Electrical Safety Report (OESR) was created to provide a comprehensive perspective of electrical fatalities, injuries, and incidents in Ontario. ESA leverages OESR data to proactively identify risks, monitor changes in incident rates, and detect emerging trends.
Managing Harms: Programs and Initiatives
Using the data and trends of electrical safety risks and outcomes, ESA’s programs and initiatives are to ensure compliance with regulations and to promote electrical safety awareness and education in Ontario
Preventing Harms: ESA’s Strategic Plan
An Ontario where people can live, work and play safe from electrical harm, now and into the future.
