Understanding Local and Industry

Specific Rules

• If you have health and safety staff within your organization,

they can bring you up to speed very quickly on the local rules

that govern your workplace. They are probably very

competent at what they do, but you are the one responsible

for having the required systems in place that meet the

requirements of your legal obligations.

• Certain industries have special rules, and these can differ

widely from one area to another. If you are working in trades,

transportation, federally regulated industries, or agriculture,

expect to see exceptions to things that you may already know.
