Course Overview
Legislation,
Standards, and Policy begins with a look at various forms of legislation and a basic overview of how they are structured and the key language (words) used to write them. The content then moves on to consider standards and examines how they are both different but also related to various acts and regulations. Finally, the course introduces policy and procedure, linking both to the standards and legislation.
The focus of this course is primarily on OHS and commercial vehicle legislation and standards, but the basic principles apply to all areas of law. Later modules in the course examine the differences between federal and provincial employers and the importance of communicating compliance and regulatory information through the use of organizational policy and procedure.
