The goal of Marine Occupational Health and Safety (MOHS) is to create a safe and healthy work environment. We accomplish this through administering, enforcing and promoting Part II of the Canada Labour Code and of the Maritime Occupational Health and Safety Regulations.
MOHS Inspectors conduct inspections, investigations and promotional visits to make sure that the marine industry’s employers are committed to the health and safety of their employees.
