Safety Representative: Duties & Responsibilities
Know Your Role. Make a Difference.
Coming Soon
Not every organization is required to have a Joint Occupational Health and Safety Committee. Under Nova Scotia’s OHS legislation, workplaces with fewer than 20 employees are required to designate a Safety Representative instead – an individual who plays a vital role in keeping their workplace safe, informed, and compliant.
This virtual program is designed specifically for Safety Representatives and the organizations that support them. It provides a clear, practical walkthrough of the role’s duties, rights, and responsibilities under the Nova Scotia OHS Act – giving Safety Representatives the confidence and clarity they need to fulfill their role effectively and make a genuine difference in their workplace.
Program Overview
Learning Objectives
By the end of this program, participants will have a thorough understanding of their legislative role and responsibilities as a Safety Representative under Nova Scotia’s OHS Act. They will learn how to identify and report hazards, participate in inspections and incident investigations, communicate safety concerns effectively to management, and support a culture of safety in their organization – even without a formal committee structure.
