Remembering Amber Czech
We are deeply saddened to hear about the tragic loss of 20-year-old welder Amber Czech, whose life was taken in an act of workplace violence in Minnesota. This heartbreaking incident is a solemn reminder that violence in the workplace can affect anyone, in any role, and in any sector.
In Ontario, every employer and worker has responsibilities to help prevent workplace violence and harassment. It is critical that we continue to foster safe, respectful, and vigilant work environments—where all individuals are protected and supported.
We encourage all members to take this moment to review their obligations under the Occupational Health and Safety Act, including policies, programs, risk assessments, and training requirements.
Please see the documents on our website: https://www.ecao.org/member/safety-links to ensure your workplace remains compliant and that your teams are protected. If you have any questions or require assistance, we are here to support you.
