For administrative and enforcement purposes, the occupational safety and
health responsibilities of Transport Canada within the federal labour
jurisdiction have been linked to the areas covered by the Marine Occupational Health and Safety Regulations
(MOHS) made pursuant to the Canada
Labour Code. Consequently, in addition to its responsibilities for
marine operational safety regulations under the Canada
Shipping Act, Transport Canada, Marine Safety is responsible, on behalf
of the Minister of Labour, for administering Part
II of the Canada Labour Code in respect of employees when they are
on board a ship. This includes crew members, stevedores, or other shore-based
employees subject to federal jurisdiction who may work on board a ship from time
to time.
