On May 14, 2020, Vic Fedeli, Minister of Economic Development, Job Creation and Trade, announced how Ontario is supporting business owners, workers and the economic recovery of the province by launching the Workplace PPE Supplier Directory.
It provides businesses with information on personal protective equipment suppliers so they can keep their employees, customers and clients safe as they resume their operations.
By leveraging the success of our Ontario Together portal which received more than 23,000 submissions (as of May 11), and our access to supplier information, the government is helping businesses and other organizations prepare to get back to work by suggesting they visit //Ontario.ca/PPE, our new Workplace PPE Supplier Directory.
The Workplace PPE Supplier Directory will be home to an up-to-date list of Ontario companies and business associations that are ready to supply personal protective equipment (PPE).
The government continues to prioritize the needs of patients, frontline health care workers and first responders when it comes to having critical equipment and supplies to protect themselves during the COVID-19 outbreak. Businesses are encouraged to access only the PPE they need to keep their employees and customers safe.
Over the last several weeks, the people and businesses of Ontario have done their part to contain this virus. Our Province will continue to ensure people are safe and healthy.
