Quebec lone worker legislation and regulations
In Canada, jurisdictions are divided into federal, provincial, and territorial levels. Below is an overview of Quebec’s legislation and policies regarding lone workers, including work-alone regulations.
Quebec’s Occupational Health and Safety Act has been recently updated and includes Article 322, which requires employers to implement surveillance measures for monitoring employees working in isolation.
Regulation respecting occupational health and safety
322. Work performed in an isolated environment:
When a worker performs a task alone in an isolated environment where it is impossible for him to request assistance, an efficient means of surveillance, whether continuous or intermittent, shall be installed.
O.C. 885-2001, s. 322.
As an expert in lone worker content management, I possess an extensive knowledge base and experience in the area of lone working and safety monitoring. My expertise in this field encompasses a wide range of areas, including risk assessment, training, communication, and technology. I have a deep understanding of the unique risks associated with lone workers and have researched and written many projects and articles to educate people in how to mitigate these risks.
Throughout my time with Ok Alone, I have kept up to date with technological developments, legislative changes and regulations that have been introduced to help organizations ensure the safety of their lone workers.
