The law
Yukon's construction safety law is the Occupational Health and Safety Act. It sets the duties and the framework for workplace safety across the territory, including construction sites. The Yukon Workers' Safety and Compensation Board publishes the current text and guidance.
Who enforces it
The Yukon Workers' Safety and Compensation Board enforces workplace safety in the territory. The Board is consolidated: it is both the safety regulator and the workers compensation board, so one body handles enforcement, claims and prevention.
Workers compensation and clearances
Contractors generally must register with the province's workers compensation board, and general contractors commonly require a clearance letter before a sub mobilizes. In Yukon, that board is the Yukon Workers' Safety and Compensation Board.
Coming from another province
Your home certificate or training does not automatically transfer; check the destination regulator, the Yukon Workers' Safety and Compensation Board, before mobilizing.
