4. OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY ACT

The Occupational Health and Safety Act sets workplace safety standards for ice arena employees. While the Act does not mandate facility staffing, it ensures that any hired workers are protected. The right to know, the right to participate, and the right to refuse unsafe work are fundamental under the OSHA. If an indoor air quality incident affects workers or patrons, facility supervisors must report it to the Ministry of Labour, Immigration, Training, and Skills Development.
