Prevention Association
Metro Toronto Convention Centre

"A World where risks are controlled because
everyone believes suffering and loss are
morally, socially and economically
unacceptable."
To improve the quality of life in workplaces and
communities we serve by being an internationally
recognized leader in providing effective programs,
products and services for the prevention of injury
and illness.
“IAPA is a committed, innovative,
customer-focused organization
that is recognized by our
members
and clients as a solution-focused,
responsive, market leader.”
In 2003, and for the fourth consecutive year, IAPA
was recognized by Richard Yerema, author of
Canada’s Top 100 Employers, as one of Canada’s
best places to work.
Among other aspects of life at IAPA, the
organization offers a comprehensive benefits
program, and encourages employees’ professional
development through programs, tuition assistance
and paid time off for volunteer work.
