Description

Alberta’s Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Act applies to any worker engaged in an occupation. The OHS Act defines an “occupation” as every “occupation, employment, business, calling or pursuit over which the Legislature has jurisdiction”. The broad definition is intended to ensure that all persons engaged in work activities are protected under the OHS Act. Since a worker doesn’t need to be paid in order to be protected under the OHS Act, the OHS Act also applies to volunteers.
