SAFETY FIRST
It is our policy that every employee of W.O. Stinson & Son Ltd. is entitled to work under the safest possible conditions consistent with the Occupational Health and Safety Act. We make it our responsibility to implement and maintain Stinson safety in a healthy work environment, and it is our commitment to prevent occupational illness and injury in the workplace.
All employees are trained in our Stinson safety best practices, so that they understand their responsibilities and the safe practices for their roles. Our work sites are inspected on a regular basis to ensure that any safety hazards are corrected as soon as possible. It is wrong to believe that accidents are unavoidable and will always happen. We strongly believe that if we all do our part, including acting and talking safety at all times, a healthy attitude towards accident prevention and an improved safety record can be achieved.

Multi Year Accessibity Plan
Introduction
The Integrated Accessibility Standards Regulation (IASR) under the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act
(AODA) requires W.O. Stinson & Son Ltd. to develop a multi-year plan every five years to prevent and remove barriers
for persons with disabilities. Every five years, W.O. Stinson sets a course to prevent, identify and remove barriers
for persons with disabilities. Through its multi-year accessibility plan, W.O. Stinson aims to become barrier-free
through compliance.
W.O. Stinson strives to meet the needs of its employees and customers with disabilities and is working hard to
remove and prevent barriers to accessibility.
W.O. Stinson is committed to fulfilling our requirements under the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities
Act, 2005. This accessibility plan outlines the steps we are taking to meet those requirements and to improve
opportunities for people with disabilities.
Our plan shows how we will play our role in making Ontario an accessible province for all Ontarians.
This plan is reviewed and updated at least once every 5 years.
We train every employee during employee orientation training and provide ongoing training in respect to any changes
to the policies.
