Bill 160 Udates On April 1, 2012, or sooner in some cases, amendments to the Occupational Health and Safety Act will come into force that transfer prevention to the Ministry of Labour, from the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board. A co-chair of a Joint Health and Safety Committee will have the ability to make recommendations to the employer or constructor if the committee fails to reach consensus. Other amendments, which will come into force on a date yet to be announced, include requirements for health and safety representative training (workplaces where 6 - 19 employees are employed), and changes which will strengthen protection for workers against reprisals.
