Harmonizing Safety Requirements Across Canada

Harmonizing Safety Requirements Across Canada

​Some of Manitoba's requirements for workplace safety and health have changed to be consistent with regulations across all provinces and territories in Canada. Adopting common standards will help make safety simpler, especially for businesses that operate across multiple jurisdictions. The changes affect requirements for first aid kits, head protection, eye and face protection, hearing protection, foot protection, and personal floatation devices and life jackets. Manitoba has become the first province to harmonize regulations in these areas.  


To find out how these changes may affect your workplace safety and health programs, visit Workplace Safety and Health's Frequently Asked Questions about the Harmonization of Occupational Safety and Health Enforcement Amendments.
