The "Québec Act Respecting Occupational Health and Safety" is a legislative framework established to promote health and safety in the workplace within the province of Québec, Canada. Its main objectives are to eliminate hazards at the source, protect worker health and safety, ensure the physical well-being of workers, and establish a system of rights and obligations for workplace health and safety. The Act outlines the responsibilities of employers, workers, and other parties in maintaining a safe work environment, and it sets up mechanisms for the prevention of workplace injuries and occupational diseases. This includes the establishment of health and safety committees, the provision of training and information on safety standards, and the enforcement of regulations through inspections and penalties for non-compliance.
