Cannabis is now legal: Are you ready?

As of October 17, 2018, Canada becomes the first G7 country to legalize cannabis for recreational use.

Section 51 of the Act respecting occupational health and safety requires employers to take the necessary measures to protect the health, safety and physical well-being of their workers. It is therefore your responsibility to ensure that this article is applied within your company, otherwise you could face charges of criminal negligence or manslaughter.

Get a policy on cannabis use in the workplace!

Havinga policy on the use of cannabis in the workplace is an effective way of dealing with this change in the law.

To this day, the use of cannabis still has some grey areas in all spheres of society. So it’s vital to send a clear message to your employees about what you accept and what you won’t accept within your company.
