Did you know that when you start working on a jobsite there are documents you have to post? IHSA has developed a checklist of what must be posted on site, plus other materials that you must make available on site for reference, if needed.

This list will show you:

  • what you're required to post, according to health and safety legislation
  • where to get it
  • how to customize it to suit your needs
  • suggestions for best practices
