IAPA: Industrial Accident Prevention Association

Industrial Accident Prevention Association (IAPA), Farm Safety Association (FSA), and Ontario Service Safety Alliance (OSSA), amalgamated on January 1, 2010 into a new health and safety organization in order to bring more innovative and cost-effective health & safety solutions to firms across Ontario. The emotional and financial toll of 80 to 100 workplace fatalities each year, and 1600 workplace injuries each week*, has spurred Ontario’s prevention system** to undertake a critical assessment and restructuring of its programs and services, so it can better meet the needs of Ontario businesses.
