- Sections 4(2)(b), which specifies that employers must provide information, instruction, and training to ensure the safety, health, and welfare of all workers.
- Section 4(2)(c) and (h), which specifies that supervisors must be familiar with safety or health hazards and WSH Act and Regulation; and must competent because of knowledge or training.
- Section 4(4), 40(13), and 41(8), which specifies the employer’s duty to provide safety and health training before performing work (ie: orientation); and training of committee members and worker safety representatives.
- Section 7(3), which specifies a prime contractor must ensure every person complies with the WSH Act and Regulation; and to coordinate, organize and oversee performance of all work.
- Section 7.4(5)(g)(i) and (h), which specify criteria for the evaluation and selection of employers/persons involved in work and the plan for training of workers/supervisors in safe work practices.
- Part 35.3(1), (2) and (3), which specify an employer’s requirement to conduct WHMIS training
