Occupational Health and Safety Law

Employers are required to set up and maintain an Occupational Health Committee if they employ 10 or more employees. In certain workplaces that employ between five and nine employees, an Occupational Health and Safety Representative will be required. Employers are required to cooperate and consult with the Occupational Health Committee or Representative in order to create a healthy and safe workplace and are responsible for responding to and correcting any concerns or recommendations brought forth by the Occupational Health Committee or Representative.
