When an OHS officer observes that work is being carried out in a manner that is unhealthy or unsafe for workers, the officer may issue a stop work order. A stop work order requires that work is stopped immediately, and may apply to an entire work site, or to certain activities or areas of a work site. A stop work order is lifted when the requirements of the order are met.

An administrative penalty is a monetary penalty issued by OHS for non-compliance with OHS legislation. When an OHS officer observes either a contravention of OHS legislation or non-compliance with an order, acceptance or approval at a work site, the officer may refer a regulated work site party for an administrative penalty. Administrative penalty amounts are a maximum of $10,000 per day, per contravention.

OHS officers have authority to write immediate, on-the-spot tickets against employers who put health and safety of workers at risk.

Investigation

• Section 34 of Alberta's Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Act offers a way for an employer, contractor or prime contractor who wishes to achieve compliance through a different approach than complying with an existing requirement of the OHS Regulation or Code, to propose an alternative approach to protect the health and safety of workers.
• The OHS Act limits areas that can be considered for an acceptance. Alternative solutions that may be considered are alternatives for (i) tools, (ii) appliances, (iii) equipment, (iv) work processes, (v) first aid services, or (vi) first aid supplies or equipment. For an alternative approach to be acceptable, the proposed alternative MUST provide equal or greater protection to workers than that provided for by the original requirement of the OHS legislation.

An approval allows for a statutory Director to approve a process, equipment, standard, course or training agency, or an alternative to strict complicance with a specific legislated provision. Section 56 of the OHS Act covers approvals.

OHS can charge work site parties who violate Alberta occupational health and safety legislation. As a result of a court proceeding, if a judge determines the work site parties are guilty, the work site parties are convicted of the offence.
