Review and Update

The code of practice must be reviewed at least once a year in consultation with the JHSC, the health and safety representative, or with workers if there is no JHSC or representative.

You must update the code of practice when conditions change at your workplace, or when a WorkSafeNB health and safety officer orders you to do so.

Although not legislated, WorkSafeNB also recommends including information in your code of practice to address discrimination and harassment under New Brunswick’s Human Rights Act.

Using this guide does not necessarily mean that, as an employer, you are in compliance with the regulations. A WorkSafeNB health and safety officer determines compliance during a visit to your workplace.
