Every province's safety law, one directory.

• The act is the law. It sets out the duties and the offences.
• The regulator enforces it and publishes the plain-language guides.
• The official source column is where the current text lives. Printed compilations, like Ontario's Green Book and its cousins, go stale the day an amendment lands, so always confirm against the online source.

Registration with the destination province's workers compensation board is generally required before working there. Safety training certificates do not automatically transfer between provinces. Check the destination regulator, the table's link, before mobilizing.

Is there one safety code for all of Canada?

No. Each province and territory writes and enforces its own occupational health and safety law, and federally regulated industries follow the Canada Labour Code instead. The table above names each one and links the official source.

What is Ontario's Green Book called in other provinces?

The Green Book is an Ontario nickname for its printed OHSA compilation. Other provinces publish their own acts, codes and regulations under their own names; the table above is the equivalent list, jurisdiction by jurisdiction.
