Labour Program Health and Safety Officer Inspections

Health and safety officers conduct workplace inspections, respond to employee complaints, and investigate accidents. They work with employers, policy and workplace health and safety committees, and representatives to help resolve health and safety issues in the workplace.

Health and safety officers may enter any workplace, at any reasonable time, to conduct an inspection or investigation. An officer will typically request that a health and safety committee member or representative be present during the inspection.

Employers and employees are required to co-operate with the officer at all times and provide the necessary assistance during and after the inspection.
