OHS Legislation Updates and AMHSA Training |
|
Dear Krystal,
Significant changes to Alberta OH&S legislation completed in 2020 came into effect on December 1st, 2021. These changes impact one or more of the AMHSA eLearning courses that you are currently enrolled in. If you are an Alberta resident, the new legislation applies to you. This email includes information about the updated legislation.
Bulletins, updates, and other resources can be accessed at www.amhsa.net/ohs/. These resources include a webinar with Alberta Labour and Immigration representatives offering insight into the new legislation, and a representative from Bennett Jones offering a legal perspective. This webinar is available for any AMHSA member to view, and the slides are available for everyone.
AMHSA is in the process of updating all affected eLearning and instructor-led courses. As these updates are in process, the attached supplement will provide current course participants with up-to-date information on the new legislation.
These changes impact many courses to varying degrees. The most notable changes are listed here, and you will find the updated information in the supplement. These courses include, but are not limited to:
