Employer Obligations
Understanding Your Obligations Under the 2025 OHS Updates
Nova Scotia’s OHS legislation was updated in 2025 to formally include psychological safety – placing new obligations on employers to protect the mental health of their workers alongside their physical safety. For many organizations, this represents a meaningful shift in what compliance looks like and what’s required of leadership.
This focused one-hour virtual session is designed specifically for leaders and employers. It provides a clear, accessible overview of what the updated legislation requires, what changes need to be reflected in your policies and workplace practices, and the steps your organization needs to take to achieve and maintain compliance. Practical, direct, and built for busy leaders – this is an essential session for anyone responsible for organizational governance and people management.
