Maritime Occupational Health and Safety
Welcome
For administrative and enforcement purposes, the occupational safety and health responsibilities of Transport Canada within the federal labour jurisdiction have been linked to the areas covered by the Maritime Occupational Health and Safety Regulations (MOHS) (PDF version, 696 kB), made pursuant to the Canada Labour Code. Consequently, in addition to its responsibilities for marine operational safety regulations under the Canada Shipping Act, 2001, Transport Canada, Marine Safety is responsible, on behalf of the Minister of Labour, for administering Part II of the Canada Labour Code in respect of employees when they are on board a ship. This includes crew members, stevedores, or other shore-based employees subject to federal jurisdiction who may work on board a ship from time to time.
