This VDLC course is designed to provide an understanding of key aspects of the Code and its application to the unions and employers covered by federal labour law. In this course we will focus on Part II of the Code, dealing with occupational health and safety in federally regulated workplaces. The most important sections will be reviewed, along with interpretations and key rulings that illustrate the application of the Code, including the internal complaint resolution process and the protections for workers against retaliation for exercising rights under the Code.
