OHS & WCB

Alberta Labour’s Occupational Health and Safety (OH&S), provides resources and enforcement of the Occupational Health and Safety Act, Regulations, and Code. Specifically, OH&S provides guidelines on the legislation and standards, advice and information to both employers and employees, and ensures compliance via inspections, investigations, and complaints resolution. Your ACSA is part of a voluntary program established by Alberta Labour called Partnerships in Injury Reduction (PIR). PIR is a voluntary program in which employer and worker representatives work collaboratively with the government to build effective health and safety management systems. PIR awards Certificates of Recognition (COR) to employers that have developed a health and safety management system and met established standards

The Alberta Workers’ Compensation Board (WCB) was created by the Alberta government to administer workplace insurance on behalf of employers and workers, as part of the Workers’ Compensation Act. WCB is employer-funded to provide cost-effective disability and liability insurance. The WCB works with the Alberta Government, employers, the ACSA, and other Certifying Partners to offer WCB premium incentives through the PIR program. Employers who reduce their claim costs below predicted targets and achieve a COR can earn up to 20% off their industry rate. Your ACSA also works closely with the WCB on many safety initiatives and campaigns including Heads Up, Day of Mourning, and Modified Work programs.

Our funding is partly provided through WCB levies and we are governed by a Board of Directors, comprised of members from the construction industry, trade associations, and eight regions.
