Amendments to the Criminal Code have expanded the scope of corporate and individual criminal liability for workplace accidents. The new Alberta Occupational Health & Safety Code further complicates the situation.
Companies and executives in high-risk industries - construction, manufacturing, petroleum, mining, forestry, or any business at risk of workplace accidents - must protect themselves against accidents and their costly and time-consuming repercussions.

- Due Diligence Program: McLennan Ross assists clients in designing a safety and risk management program to minimize the risk of serious workplace accidents and prosecution.
- OHS Compliance Service: Whatever the problem, when it comes to compliance issues under OHS legislation, we can help.
- Defence Services: We defend clients charged with regulatory offences including Occupational Health and Safety and environmental offences.
