Our 4-hour course will allow participants to familiarize themselves with the Occupational Health And Safety Act (OHSA) which is often referred to as the ‘green book’.
Participants will become comfortable using the OHSA, learning how to look up and interpret information.
All employees should become familiar with the OHSA and applicable regulations. Supervisors are required by legislation to be knowledgeable in the OHSA and applicable regulations.
Ontario workplaces who are governed by the Occupational Health & Safety Act and Regulations (OHSA) with more than 20 workers must have a copy of The Green Book (Ontario Occupational Health & Safety Act and Regulations) posted in their workplace. This is a requirement put in place by the Ministry of Labour so that workers know about their rights.
