Overview
Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) legislation is a complex code designed to promote a safe work environment for workers. Lawson Lundell lawyers assist employers, owners and prime contractors in understanding and complying with their obligations under the OHS legislation. We represent employers, owners and prime contractors in responding to claims of discrimination relating to OHS matters, refusals to work because of alleged unsafe conditions, workplace violence and safe risk assessments, as well as Board orders following workplace inspections. We assist employers, owners and prime contractors during investigations following serious or fatal workplace accidents and represent them in appeals of Board orders, penalty assessments and coroner inquests. We conduct OHS audits and supervisory training for our clients.
Our lawyers have experience in representing employers on appeals of workers’ claims for compensation and assessment appeals at the Review Division of the Board and at the Workers’ Compensation Appeal Tribunal.
