About Canadian Occupational Safety

Since 1963, Canadian Occupational Safety has been the premier publication covering occupational health and safety in Canada — the leading voice for safety professionals across the country's most complex and high-hazard industries.

We deliver daily safety news, in-depth features, investigative reporting, and specialist coverage across the topics that matter most to Canadian OHS professionals: safety and PPE, OHS law and legislation, leadership and culture, psychological safety, technology, occupational hygiene, building and construction, and energy and resources.
