Overview
Today’s education system has become increasingly complex as greater demands are being placed on education professionals. In addition to delivering high-quality education, institutions must ensure compliance with a wide range of legal obligations. With evolving regulatory expectations, a strong understanding of the education sector’s responsibilities, particularly under the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA), is more important than ever.
The Osgoode Certificate in Education Law was designed to provide educators with practical legal knowledge to navigate the complex regulatory and compliance landscape in the education sector.
In a session titled “OHSA in Education,” Nadine Zacks will discuss workers’ rights and obligations, as well as the statutory duties of employers and supervisors under OHSA, with particular focus on the key issues arising in the education sector. Nadine will conclude the session with an overview of inspections and enforcement, providing insights into the Ministry of Labour’s processes and expectations.
As the chair of the firm’s Occupational Health and Safety Practice Group, Nadine understands the impact of OHSA in the education sector. Contact Nadine to learn more about how she can support with day-to-day legal challenges in education.
