Compliance Policy
Employers and employees need to fulfill their roles in preventing workplace accidents and injuries, and promoting safe and healthy workplaces as required in Part II of the Canada Labour Code.
The Labour Program provides services related to the administration and enforcement of Part II of the Code, and works with employers and employees to help fulfill their responsibilities and obligations under the legislation.
Labour Program health and safety officers enforce the Code by conducting inspections and investigations. They also follow a compliance policy to ensure fair and consistent application of the Code in all workplaces.
The Compliance Policy includes a range of tools to achieve compliance such as an Assurance of Voluntary Compliance (AVC), directions, and prosecutions.
The Labour Program also develops interpretations, policies, and guidelines and operational program directives to ensure that programs are delivered consistently across Canada.
