Handbook of Occupational Safety and Health

The management of workplace safety and health in the Public Service is governed by the Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) volume of the Treasury Board Manual (TBM). That OSH volume consists of: the OSH policy and other policies that foster the health, well-being and productivity of employees, and related OSH directives (deemed part of collective agreements), standards, procedures, guides and advisory notices. This OSH Handbook contains all of the above information from the TBM OSH volume, as well as the Canada Labour Code, Part II and pursuant regulations that apply to the Public Service. The handbook is intended as a comprehensive reference book to help departments maintain programs to prevent work-related injuries and illnesses and promote employee health and productivity.
