SAFETY IS ALWAYS A TOP PRIORITY in construction.

All employers of tradespeople in Canada are obliged by law to provide a safe work environment for employees, and every employee must be trained in safe work practices.

Each province and territory in Canada has its own set of safety standards. To find out more about safety in the industry and your rights as a construction worker, find your provincial or territorial construction safety association on the Canadian Federation of Construction Safety Associations (CFCSA) website. This umbrella organization aims to promote awareness of construction health and safety, improve information sharing, and produce workplace health and safety training resources.
