Christine O’Donnell is currently a Health and Safety Officer with the ESDC-Labour Program. She has been in this position since 2006 working with employers, employees, unions and stakeholders to make the workplace safer for all workers. She has a particular interest in young workers as the statistics will reveal, such workers are at the highest risk of injury or even fatality. Christine is passionate about ensuring people understand and can identify the risks within their environment. This is underlined by the foundation of the three rights for all workers: the right to know, the right to participate and the right to refuse.
Christine has received a Bachelor of Honours from Carleton University, Law and Political Science and has completed many courses in Health and Safety from Toronto Metropolitan University. She has received a Certificate in Mediation from the University of Windsor Law School.

Often you may hear Christine’s favourite phrase … “Safety never takes a vacation”.
