Quick Facts on Ontario Legislation

In Ontario the law doesn’t discuss working alone as a distinct issue.

However, all employers, managers and supervisors must do “everything that is reasonable under the circumstances” (Occupational Health & Safety Act, Sec. 25) to ensure that their workers have a healthy and safe workplace.

Ensuring that workers working alone are safe is within the scope of the intent of the law.
