Farms Safety Legislation - OH&S Tools

Following are tools to assist with the Ontario Health & Safety Act. The documents are available to download for free in Adobe Acrobat format (pdf). If you don't have the Adobe Acrobat Reader, you can download it for free from Adobe.

These Acts include: Employment Standards Act (ESA), Workplace Safety & Insurance Act (WSIA) and the Occupational Health & Safety Act (OHSA).

WSPS made every effort to provide materials that would be the most useful and relevant to any workplace in the development of an initial Health and Safety Program.
