WSIB offers $2,500 rebate to save lives on worksites

Effective January 1, any ongoing construction projects in Ontario that have a duration of more than three months and have more than 20 workers employed regularly at the worksite must provide defibrillators. AEDs purchased between July 1, 2025, and June 30, 2027, are eligible for reimbursement.
This follows a 2025 regulation that was passed by the Ontario government requiring AEDs at certain construction projects, which included the reimbursement program.
