George Gritziotis charged with developing a provincial health and safety strategy for Ontario
George Gritziotis will be the first to take on the role of Ontario’s chief prevention officer, a job created following a review of the province’s occupational health and safety prevention and enforcement system led by University of Toronto professor Tony Dean.
Gritziotis, a founding executive director of the Construction Sector Council, will be responsible for developing a provincial occupational health and safety strategy, co-ordinating and aligning Ontario’s workplace health and safety prevention system and providing advice on the prevention of workplace injuries and occupational diseases, according to the province.
Canadian Safety Reporter spoke to Gritziotis in September before he officially started in his newly-created position.
