This Guide has been prepared to assist the workplace parties in understanding their obligations under the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA) and its regulations. It is not intended to replace the OHSA or the regulations and reference should always be made to the official version of the legislation.

It is the responsibility of the workplace parties to ensure compliance with the legislation. This Guide does not constitute legal advice and has no legal effect. If you require assistance with respect to the interpretation of the legislation and its application in specific circumstances, please contact your legal counsel.

While this Guide will also be available to Ministry of Labour inspectors, they will apply and enforce the OHSA and its regulations based on the facts as they may find them in the workplace. This Guide does not affect their enforcement discretion in any way.
