EDMONTON, Alta. – The Government of Alberta has announced that it is conducting a review of the province’s workplace health and safety system, to make sure that employers and workers understand their roles and responsibilities. The review will examine the Alberta Occupational Health and Safety Act, which has not undergone any major changes since 1976, according to an announcement on the government’s website. The process will consist of an online survey and roundtable sessions with employers, workers, academics and oh&s associations. Issues examined will include compliance, enforcement, education, engagement and prevention. “All workers deserve healthy and safe workplaces from their first shift through to retirement,” provincial Labour Minister Christina Gray said in a press statement. “Alberta workplaces… have changed significantly during the past 40 years. We need to make sure the province’s laws and best practices are helping keep Albertans safe.” The public is invited to complete the online survey at https://www.alberta.ca/ohs-system-review.aspx or to submit comments to lbr.review@gov.ab.ca by Oct. 16.
