The Ontario Government has proposed significant legislative
changes that may impact how accident investigations and enforcement
actions unfold, and regulatory orders and prosecutions may become
more perilous for employers and senior executives as a result.
In this session, presented on March 28, 2022, Toronto Health and
Safety lawyers Ryan Conlin and Jeremy Schwartz of Stringer LLP
discuss:
- Proposed changes to the maximum fines for individuals and
corporate officers and directors
- A potential doubling of the limitations period for commencing
prosecutions
- The new sentencing factors Courts would be obliged to
consider
- Critical strategies for modernizing Director and Officer due
diligence
