Select your province, territory or federal jurisdiction before purchasing. Each version provides a starting point tailored to the occupational health and safety laws, reporting rules and regulator contacts in that jurisdiction. The federal version is for federally regulated employers under the Canada Labour Code.

Ideal for small and growing Canadian businesses writing their first health and safety program, replacing an outdated one, or putting everyday safety practices in writing.

The handbook covers general workplace health and safety for any industry. It does not cover sector-specific rules, such as those for construction, mining, health care or oil and gas, or federal sector regulations. It includes an Industry-Specific Procedures section where you add the procedures your own work requires.
