Can my employer charge me for damage to a company vehicle?

Not sure if this is the right place to post, but I am reading my employee contract and policies for a new job and noticing some red flags. (Ontario) 2 seperate documents are asking me to sign that I agree to pay the insurance deductible if I damage company equipment. I don't know enough to say for sure that's illegal, but I know enough to not sign that until I clarify. As far as I understand, that financial risk is to be carried by the employer, not employee. If I wanted the liability of paying for company property…I'd own a company. That is not the employee's responsibility, yes?? Thanks y'all!
