Keeping workers healthy and safe is a critical aspect of a
successful construction project. Under Ontario's Occupational
Health and Safety Act (OHSA) and Construction Regulations,
the constructor has responsibilities to ensure the health and
safety of workers on a project. Sub-contractor employers also
have broad health and safety duties. The law also requires all
managers and supervisors to be familiar with the OHSA and
the Regulations. The OHSA also provides owners with
responsibilities for health and safety on a project.
This course, designed by Norm Keith, B.A., LL.B., CRSP, a
leading employment and labour lawyer and author of Canadian
Health & Safety Law, is designed to provide constructors,
employers and owners of construction projects with the
knowledge and skills necessary to manage health and safety -
from start to finish.
The course focuses on:
- Occupational Health and Safety Act and Regulations
- Duties and responsibilities of owners, constructors, employers, supervisors and workers
- Integrating OHS systems with managerial and/or supervisory functions
- Authority and powers of Ministry of Labour health and safety inspectors
