What is the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHS)? 

In Alberta, the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHS), Regulation and Code set the health and safety requirements for provincially regulated businesses. The OHS is enforced by Alberta Occupational Health and Safety, through inspections, investigation and prosecutions.

Employer Responsibilities Under the OHS

Employers in Alberta must protect the health and safety of their workers by preventing injury, illnesses and death in the workplace. To ensure that all Alberta employers fulfill this duty, the Occupational Health and Safety Act requires employers to do the following tasks:

• Keep the workplace safe by protecting, training and supervising employees
• Educate employees on their rights under OHS
• Consult with the health and safety representative or joint health and safety committee when resolving workplace health and safety concerns
• Cooperate with employees complying with OHS
• Provide employees with information on all hazards, health and safety in the workplace; including a copy of the OHS
• Develop a health and safety policy, plan and program

Establishing a Health and Safety Representative or Joint Health and Safety Committee 

The OHS requires employers in Alberta to have a health and safety representative or joint health and safety committee to help assess and protect the workplace from hazards. Based on the number of employees, a business must have one or the other:

• 5-19 employees: health and safety representative
• 20 or more employees: joint health and safety committee
