The OH&S Legislation: Acts & Regulations course introduces students to the complex tangle of legislation, guidelines, and regulations that today's OH&S practitioners encounter today. The course helps you unravel the confusion by identifying key pieces of federal and provincial legislation, such as the Workers Compensation Act and Bill C-45.

The course also examines the role of important safety organizations, such as WorkSafeBC, the BC Safety Authority, and the Employers' Advisers Office.
