Safety Pillars vs CCOHS Safe Work

This tool is your guide to the Foundational Pillars of a Solid Health and Safety System. The Pillars include hazard assessment, practices and procedures, training, inspections, and investigations. Each Pillar allows the user to read through a plain language summary, and then link to the relevant legislation itself. Where education and training for each Pillar is available in Saskatchewan is also included. Additional resources such as sample forms, checklists, and report forms for each Pillar are provided. This tool provides information on the Pillars in a summarized format – users should always refer back to the legislation or regulation for specific requirements.
