Do you have questions about Alberta's upcoming OHS Code changes?
Join us January 27, 10:00 - 11:30 am for an interactive, no-cost webinar that includes a question-and-answer forum with OHS Prevention Services, Jobs, Economy and Northern Development, Government of Alberta and Bennett Jones LLP.
The presentation will provide an overview of the changes to Alberta’s Occupational Health and Safety Code coming into force on March 31, 2023. These changes include the alignment of the C Code with other Canadian jurisdictions and the inclusion of harmonizing language, a reduction in duplication, and the adoption of best practices. The focus of the webinar will be on the changes that will have the most impact to stakeholders.
This webinar has been pre-approved by CPHR-Alberta for 1.5 CPD hours.

Updates to Alberta's Occupational Health and Safety Code | |
New Large Employer Audit Tool Launched | |
The Partnerships audit tool that AMHSA utilizes for large employers in the COR program has been updated due to recent changes made to the legislation. There were also some clarifications made to question guidance, to provide clarification for auditors. AMHSA has also revised the Interview Sampling worksheet to include an indication of whether council is covered by the WCB account being audited, and added the newly approved Council interview questions to the Int. Record worksheet.
In the Audit Tool Changes 2023 document, we’ve highlighted changes made in the Audit Tool worksheet. Please review with other auditors and your employer to ensure auditors are familiar with the changes and the occupational health and safety management system is kept up-to-date and will meet the revised audit’s requirements.
The 2023 Sampling Update document shows changes made to simplify the process for auditors.
If you have any questions, please email audits@amhsa.net. Thank you.
