ESDC is excited to announce the launch of their 2025 Labour Program Road Transportation Safety Blitz; a focused proactive initiative aimed at strengthening occupational health and safety (OHS) practices across the road transportation sector. Whether you’re a fleet manager, safety officer, or a trucking company operator, this is your opportunity to stay ahead of compliance requirements and protect your workforce.
What is the Labour Program Road Transportation Safety Blitz?
This initiative combines a free Information session and targeted inspections to help employers better understand their responsibilities under the Canada Labour Code. Part II of the Canada Labour Code and its associated Canada Occupational Health and Safety Regulations relate to occupational health and safety and reflect the desire to reduce workplace injuries and illness.
