Ask Canada Safety
Ask a workplace safety question — get a plain answer with the exact section it came from shown right beside it, word for word. Don't take our word for it: open the government’s own text in one click and check it yourself.
Word for wordChecked against the government’s published text
Copied word for word from the governments’ published consolidations, and checked. Every section links straight to the government source, and each document's “current to” date is listed on the Methodology page.
Pick your province or territory on the map first, or choose Compare Atlantic to see NL, NB, NS & PE side by side.
Getting the most from compare mode
Ask the way you would for one province. Each province is answered from its own law.
Include the facts that change the answer: how many workers, the voltage, the depth, the kind of workplace.
Name one province to see its answer first. For follow-up questions, switch to that province.
Informational tool only — not legal advice or an official interpretation. An independent tool, not a product of any government, safety authority or workers' compensation board. Confirm anything workplace-critical with the relevant provincial safety authority, your OHS committee, or a qualified safety professional.
⚑ Ask a question above to get started.
The more specific, the better — name the hazard, the task, and what you need (a number, a requirement, or a definition). A broad question pulls a broad section; a precise one pulls the exact section. The examples show the shape. One thing at a time works best — a question that bundles several separate requirements may be answered only in part, so ask multi-part questions one at a time and check each answer against its own cited section.
Try one of these
Pick a topic to get a short toolbox talk a supervisor can read aloud to a crew: a plain-language talk, the binding law that applies in your province or territory (cited to the exact section, tap to read it), and practical best practices. Set your province or territory on the map above for the cited law.

Why you can trust the answer
Because you never have to take our word for it.
A general chatbot answers from memory, and can invent a citation that looks real. Ask Canada Safety answers only from the Acts and regulations themselves, and puts the section each answer came from right beside it. The answer is a summary. The section is the law.
How you can check it
We don't claim perfection. We make every answer checkable.
Every section is taken from the government's published text and checked against it, section by section.
Every answer links to the section it came from and to the government's own copy. The official text governs.
A few tables are set out as readable rows, and a few notes of ours are marked as ours. The Methodology page explains each kind.
When we find an error, we correct it against the government’s published text.
