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.

"A World where risks are controlled because everyone believes suffering and loss are

morally, socially and economically unacceptable."

“IAPA is a committed, innovative, customer-focused organization

that is recognized by our membersand 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.

Customers rate us highly for our breadth of product and service solutions, our customer service and overall satisfaction.

We continued to refine essential products, programs and services, formulate new offerings, and implement internal business processes.

We contributed to the ultimate solution – a cultural shift that views workplace injury, illness and death not as a cost of doing business but as a crime against society.
