Municipal Safety Requirements & Responsibilities

Per the provisions of the Municipalities Act, a municipal council is viewed as an employer if the municipality has one or more “employees”. A person acting in the capacity of “town manager”, and others who oversee, direct or assign work, would be considered supervisors from an OHS perspective. Know your responsibilities, protect your workers and yourself.
