The Government of Alberta has updated the Occupational Health and Safety Code.
Changes to the code align with best practices, modern standards and technology, and keep Alberta in line with other Canadian jurisdictions. In making changes to the code, Alberta’s government focused on the parts that required the most immediate updates.
Updates to the OHS code include harmonizing language, reducing duplication and adopting best practices in the eight updated parts. The changes will give employers and workers the tools they need to build healthy, safe workplaces.
A three-year review plan is now in place to chart out which parts of the OHS Code will be reviewed next and to ensure the OHS Code is kept current.
