Operating context

CCOHS is governed by a tripartite council representing governments (federal, provincial and territorial), employers, and labour organizations. The Council of Governors (Council) assists in overseeing a policy framework for a trustworthy and complete occupational health and safety service and ensures that the information CCOHS disseminates is unbiased. CCOHS Council members are directly involved in the governance and strategic planning for the organization. Council also assists with reviews of programs and services to help ensure that CCOHS' information is impartial and relevant. Along with federal government support, CCOHS' inquiries service is supported and partially funded from contributions provided by provincial and territorial governments.
