Its mission is to “promote, protect and improve the safety and health of working people by conducting actionable research that is valued by employers, workers, and policy-makers.”[1] OperationsSince 2013, IWH has operated with core funding from the Government of Ontario through the Ministry of Labour (Ontario).
