Ontario regulator seeks larger fine for Amazon for workplace safety violation
March 17, 2025
Ontario’s workers’ compensation board is pushing for a harsher penalty for Amazon after a court fined the company $30,000 for failing to report a warehouse accident on time, in a rare move that reflects the workplace regulator’s close scrutiny of one of the province’s major employers.The Globe and Mail obtained over 6,000 pages of Workplace Safety and Insurance Board records related to Amazon’s recent conviction through a Freedom-of-Information request. The documents detail the dispute, along with several other disagreements between the retail behemoth and the WSIB, offering a window into the company’s fractious history with the regulator.
