CSNS Webinar: The Supervisor's Role in the Workplace
2026-06-24 12:00 - 13:00 | Nova Scotia
Supervisors play a critical role in workplace health and safety—and their responsibilities extend far beyond assigning work and managing productivity. Join Construction Safety Nova Scotia for this engaging 1-hour webinar exploring the legal duties, responsibilities, and expectations placed on supervisors under Nova Scotia’s Occupational Health and Safety Act and the Canadian Criminal Code. Through real-world examples, including a recent criminal negligence case involving a construction supervisor, participants will gain a deeper understanding of the consequences when supervision fails and the importance of taking reasonable precautions to protect workers.

This webinar will examine the supervisor’s role as a trusted link between workers and employers, highlighting key concepts such as due diligence, the Internal Responsibility System, worker rights, and supervisor accountability. Attendees will learn how effective supervision contributes to a strong safety culture and how supervisors can balance production pressures with their responsibility to ensure work is completed safely.

Whether you are a current supervisor, an aspiring leader, or an employer responsible for managing supervisors, this session will provide practical insights and actionable strategies to strengthen workplace safety and compliance. Join us to better understand what the law requires, what workers expect, and what it means to be a trusted leader in today’s workplace.
