Worksplace Covid safety plan
Important notes
The safety plan builder has been designed to help all businesses establish best practices to help keep their workers and customers/clients safe from COVID-19 and other risks in the workplace
Those responsible for a business or organization must follow all relevant requirements set out in:
- The Reopening Ontario (A Flexible Response to COVID-19) Act, 2020 (ROA)
- Directives from the Chief Medical Officer of Health
- Local public health orders
- The Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA)
- The Employment Standards Act (ESA)
- Any other relevant legislation
Employers must stay up to date on legal requirements as the situation evolves.
Under the OHSA, employers must determine when PPE or other masking is needed for their workers. More information on using masks in the workplace is available at Ontario.ca/COVIDSafety.
Employers also have sector-specific minimum requirements which they must meet based on the ROA. It is the employers responsibility to ensure that their safety plan satisfies all legislated requirements. These requirements are listed in O. Reg. 364/20 of the ROA and in the Roadmap to Reopening. Specific requirements may include:
- Screening
- Collection of contact information
- Physical distancing
- Masks and face coverings
- Personal protective equipment (PPE)
- Capacity limits
- Other specific requirements
