This resource calls for the Ontario government and law enforcement to end the ESA's monopoly, cut fees across the board.

Limit its absolute power. Investigate and stop the alleged criminal abuse of that power and unjust self-enrichment.

Expose fundamental flaws that deteriorate safety causing more accidents, fires, and fatalities.

ESA celebrates own failures, hides the truth and fatalities


ESA reports are constantly blowing trumpet about achievements and improvements. But the same reports often mislead, hide, or do not mention its failures.Why?

The Ontario Electrical Safety Report 13 EDITION 2013, page 10 or 12, 2.1 Electrocutions and Electrical Burn Fatalities, chart - 2 Number of Electrical-Related Fatalities in Ontario, 2004-2013 shows a 450% higher Number of Electrical-Related Fatalities, from 2 in previous 2012 to 9 in 2013. (See the same chart 2 below).

The 2013 number of 9 fatalities was 30% to 450% greater than that of any of the 5 preceding years.

So instead of acknowledging the actual catastrophic failure in 2013, the ESA has reported a 25% reduction in the number of fatalities. ESA gave a deceptive and false sadistic "Conclusion: 25% reduction in the number of electrical-related fatalities since 2006." Terrible for the victims but so convenient for the ESA executives!

*NOTE, the 2006 was a single year in a decade with the higher number of deaths!

In 2013, there were 18 electrical-related and electrical fire fatalities in Ontario, a 257% increase from seven deaths the previous year! (see page 9 or page 10 (page 11 or page 12) of the ESA fiscal 2014 annual report).

Moreover, the 2013 Fiscal Year-end Annual Report does not even mention a total of 18 fatalities that year! Why is ESA so shy about publishing a dramatic increase in fatalities?

Instead of sounding an alarm and raising grave concern, instead of grieving and explaining the terrible failure, the 2013 Fiscal Year-end Annual Report has a total of 178 cheerful, joyful, and victorious words like achieved and achievements (49 times), success (14 times), progress (22 times), improve and improving (43 times). As well as decrease (18 times) or reduce (32 times) in most cases related to fewer incidents, injuries, fatalities, fires, etc.

A question, what was the ESA celebrating in that report having 18 deaths and a HUGE increase in fatalities on its hands?

An answer. Who cares about the dead? ESA celebrated the 2013 results because it achieved:


Increase in net assets
Growth in salaries, wages, benefits
Greater investments comparing to 2012
Excess of revenue over expenses for the year
Growth in the total employee future benefit assets



Is the following chart a mistake, omission, or a misrepresentation of fact? Or is it just another example of hiding the truth? Just one of the ESA's countless big and small criminal acts?

ESA cheats and deceives even it is not necessary


These tricks in reports, other alleged abuses and crimes, could lead to much greater and continuous adverse consequences for the safety and mortality rate in Ontario.

Families of the victims, get together and take the ESA to court for lies and for failing to protect your loved ones!



ESA it must stop lying about successes while hiding failures. Tell the ESA, you want the truth. ESA.Cambridge@electricalsafety.on.ca

Tell your MPP.

Email the Minister directly Ms. Lisa M Thompson. Or visit web site of the Minister of Government and Consumer Services, who is accountable for the ESA activities.

Or do you have your own story of abuse, neglect, unfair treatment, overcharge, etc. to share publicly? Join us in a class action if you think they are parasites and sue them together with us!

ESA will never give up fantastic salaries and huge benefits until we refuse to be their cash cows. They will milk us all dry if YOU and I don't stop them in court. So how committed are you to winning?

Use full name, real or not. No links unless devoted to fighting ESA.

If emailing evidence of overcharge, abuse, or crime, clearly state whether we can make your name and material public.

Otherwise we will keep all your contact and personal information strictly confidential and unknown to the ESA. Courts will give you absolute immunity, witness protection, and concealed identity in advance. ESA will never know who you are and won't be able to retaliate.
