Workers’ Safety and Compensation Board 

The new WORKERS' SAFETY AND COMPENSATION ACT  came into force on July 1, 2022.

HAZARD ASSESSMENT REGULATIONS: On September 4, 2021, enhancements to the hazard assessment regulations in Part 1 - General come into effect (one year following their approval by the Yukon government) strengthening the regulation and making it clearer in terms of the frequency of completing hazard assessments and the need for training.

Hazard Assessment and Control: a handbook for Yukon employers and workers: This guide outlines the basic process for hazard assessment and control, and includes templates and sample forms. Employers should customize the process and the forms for their business: hazard assessments must reflect the specific needs of the operation. Download a copy or for more information visit YSCB.
