Westray Law Virtual Training

We are pleased to announce an upcoming webinar exploring the Westray Bill and Canada’s Criminal Code. Too often, confusion reigns among local officials, including police, Crown attorneys, and other officials, regarding the former Westray Bill and its criminal negligence application in the case of a workplace fatality and/or workplace incident. Many within the health and safety field believe more training on this law is needed. So often, police services in a community hand over the file to a provincial ministry of labour official. The result is a lack of charges/convictions under Canada’s Criminal Code. The United Steelworkers have been front and centre not only in the law’s implementation, but also through training and the adoption of resolutions in several cities/communities. Andy Ladouceur is a Health, Safety and Environment Coordinator with the United Steelworkers District 6. He has significant knowledge of Health and Safety and the Westray Bill. Andy will be our key presenter at the Webinar. Please join us on Tuesday, December 1, 2026, at 7:00 pm. You will find a poster for the event attached; feel free to share it with your peers.
