The law
The core law is Part III of The Saskatchewan Employment Act, with The Occupational Health and Safety Regulations, 2020 setting out the detail. Together they cover how work sites in Saskatchewan must be run to keep workers safe. The full, current text and guidance are published by WorkSafe Saskatchewan, and that is the source to check before you rely on any summary, including this one.
