About this statute

This provision defines key workplace safety terms and sets core safety duties for employers, constructors, owners, supervisors, suppliers, workers, and self-employed persons. The provision sets workplace health and safety rules for worker representatives, unsafe-work refusals, accident reporting, inspections, appeals, and enforcement duties. This provision gives safety officers broad inspection and enforcement powers, requires workplace cooperation, and sets offences, penalties, confidentiality limits, and safety orders. Employers must share certain orders with workplace health and safety representatives and post a copy at the workplace. Manufacturers, distributors, or suppliers must give written notice before introducing a new biological or chemical agent for workplace use, and the notice must include specified details. The director and the Commissioner in Executive Council also have decision-making and regulation-making powers under these sections.
