Occupational Health & Safety Acts and Regulations

Please note the titles of each jurisdiction's Act in the table below. Generally, the best place to find the most current legislation is from a jurisdiction's Queen's Printer or directly from the Boards/Commissions. The Queen's Printer will also have all Regulations and Schedules to the Acts, as well as having Bills relating to the Acts that have not yet been passed. It is always important to read these Acts in conjunction with the corresponding Regulations and Schedules. 
 
See the 'Occupational Health & Safety and Prevention' section of our website for summaries of comparisons of occupational health, safety and prevention programs in Canada.
