4. Official Source Verification & Statutory Drift

Ontario's health and safety legislation is regularly amended by provincial statute and regulatory consolidation. While the SGB project endeavours to keep provisions accurate, amendments enacted after our consolidation date may not yet appear. Users must always verify requirements against official consolidations:

5. No Professional or Legal Relationship

6. Mandatory Consultation Before Action

Before making safety compliance decisions, establishing critical site procedures, or responding to workplace safety inquiries, you must consult the official Act and Regulations, your Joint Health and Safety Committee (JHSC) or Health & Safety Representative, certified OHS professionals (CRSP/CSO), or legal counsel.
