The Complete Canadian Workplace Emergency Preparedness & Response Kit

If there’s one thing every Canadian safety manager learns sooner or later, it’s that “emergency preparedness” means something slightly different depending on where you are. A solid evacuation plan in Ontario might tick almost all the right boxes—but move that same plan to B.C. or Nova Scotia, and you could find yourself scrambling to add missing requirements. That’s why we’ve pulled together a clear, no-fluff table that lays out the emergency planning obligations in all 13 jurisdictions. It’s not here to replace the law—you should still verify details in the actual OHS Act and regulations—but it will give you a reliable bird’s-eye view of what’s expected, where, and how it applies to your workplace.
