Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety

Under the Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety Act, the Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety (CCOHS) was created in 1978. The Centre promotes the fundamental right of Canadians to a healthy and safe working environment. The Centre’s responsibilities include collecting statistical data on occupational health and safety.

The CCOHS is governed by a tripartite council representing the federal, provincial and territorial governments, in addition to employers and workers. The Centre provides Canadians with unbiased and relevant information that supports responsible decision‑making on health and safety issues in the workplace.
