What is Occupational Health and Safety Act (Canada)?
Provincial and federal legislation in Canada requiring employers to identify workplace hazards, implement safety programs, and protect employees from occupational injuries, illnesses, and fatalities through mandatory compliance standards.
Why it matters in hiring
Occupational Health and Safety Act (Canada) comes up whenever teams compare candidates, set policy or report on people data. Getting the definition right keeps decisions consistent, which is the same reason springhire scores every applicant against the same criteria rather than on impression.
