What this service is:

This comprehensive, fully linked resource gives you easy access to all of Canada's environmental and occupational safety and health laws and regulations — federal, provincial, and territorial.

What it helps you do:

• Access a database of Canada’s more than 2,100 federal, provincial, and territorial environmental, occupational health and safety, and workers’ compensation Acts, regulations, guidelines, and codes of practice.
• Get online subscription packages of national and regional legislation by topic (air, hazardous materials, health & safety, land, remediation, renewable energy, sustainability, waste, and water.)
• Know that expert editors read the latest bills and gazettes from all jurisdictions to keep you up to date on the most recent legislation and amendments.
• Understand the institutional framework of environment and safety programs throughout Canada, to better work within them.
• Avoid costly fines for non-compliance with Canadian requirements by staying on top of changing legislation and regulations.
• Be familiar with the Canadian perspective on such issues as NAFTA, global warming, acid rain, shipping, mining, workplace safety, and workers' compensation.
• Protect your operations. The Library is designed for anyone who deals with or has facilities in Canada, including U.S. businesses, consultants, attorneys, border-based manufacturers, and contiguous multinationals.
• Receive a fully hyperlinked monthly “What’s New” e-mail alert, along with the bimonthly updates. Newly amended text highlighted in yellow.
• Have an accurate picture of how the law works in Canada, where provinces and territories have more responsibility than the federal government for the implementation and enforcement of environment and safety provisions.
• Save time and money. You no longer need to have outside attorneys and consultants to get this information for you.
