Inspections

Regular inspections help ensure that occupational health and safety hazards are addressed before they result in possible injuries. Part II of the Canada Labour Code requires the health and safety committee/representative to carry out monthly inspections in the workplace in whole or in part.

In the event that a hazard is identified, and the committee/representative is not authorized to remove it, recommendations must be forwarded to the employer.

The employer is required to provide a written response to the committee/representative within 30 days on how the issue will be resolved.

For additional information on employer obligations relating to workplace inspections under the Code, please see the following:
