Information contained in this report is restricted to environmental/health and safety legislation that is either available in the Canadian enviroOSH Legislation series or represents new items. We welcome your comments on this service. You can contact us at clientservices@ccohs.ca

1A. Acts

Contains the names of current federal, provincial and territorial bills relevant to the Canadian enviroOSH Legislation series. It is updated monthly. All bills are removed at the conclusion of a parliamentary session and a new series begins.

Note: If a bill has reached "Royal assent" this does not necessarily mean it is in force (effective). The notation NIF indicated Not in Force (i.e. will be proclaimed later).

Internet addresses containing proposed bills have been provided for those jurisdictions which supply this information. Please note that the bills are not official versions and that "first reading" bills may be amended.

Canada Occupational Health and Safety Regulations (Canada Labour Code, Part II): Regulation SOR/2002-379 makes amendments to reflect the interpretation given in an Ontario court decision with regard to the word "structure" in subsection 12.10(1) (fall protection) of the regulations; the amendments will ensure that employees working on vehicles have the same protection as all other employees under federal jurisdiction.
