What Alberta Expects

The dates and thresholds that matter.

01

Since Dec 4, 2024

Alberta replaced separate harassment and violence plans with one combined prevention plan.

02

Every 3 years

Your violence and harassment prevention plan must be reviewed at least every 3 years, and sooner after an incident, a change to the work or work site, or a request from your health and safety committee.

03

20+ workers

You need a written health and safety program and a joint health and safety committee.

Not every rule applies to every employer. Your answers decide which of these 4 you need.

What We Cover

Alberta requirements we track

Each one is drafted from the legislation, filled in with your details, and kept current.

Violence & Harassment Prevention Plan

Occupational Health and Safety Act; OHS Code, Part 27, ss. 390–392.6 (as amended December 4, 2024)

Every Alberta employer must develop and put in place a violence and harassment prevention plan, in consultation with the health and safety committee, representative or affected workers, and train workers on it.

  • Always required.
  • Review at least every 3 years, and sooner when an incident shows a review is needed, when a change to the work or work site could affect the risk, or when your committee or representative asks.

Health & Safety Program

Occupational Health and Safety Act, ss. 13, 14 and 16; OHS Code

With 20 or more workers you must establish and implement a health and safety program, and have a joint health and safety committee. We schedule a review at least every 3 years.

  • Required at 20+ workers; recommended below 20.
  • Review at least every 3 years, and whenever work site changes create new hazards.

Working Alone Procedure

OHS Code, Part 28

If anyone works alone, you must assess the hazards, take steps to eliminate or reduce them, and have an effective way for the worker to communicate and be checked on.

  • Required only if anyone works alone.
  • Review after any incident or change in work arrangements.

Privacy Policy & Privacy Officer Designation

Personal Information Protection Act (Alberta), ss. 5–6

Private-sector organizations in Alberta must designate someone responsible for complying with PIPA, and develop and follow privacy policies and practices, including how they handle employee personal information.

  • Always required.
  • Review it whenever you change how you collect or store personal information.

Questions

Straight answers.

Is this legal advice?

No. PeopleVantage gives you well-drafted templates and plain-language information about what the law requires. Royson York is not a law firm. For advice about your specific situation, such as a complaint, an investigation or a dismissal, talk to an employment lawyer.

Who wrote these documents?

Royson York drafted every template directly from the legislation and regulator guidance for each province, and we only sell a province once its templates have been reviewed by a licensed lawyer. Each document shows the date the law was last checked.

What happens when the law changes?

Ontario has passed a new "Working for Workers" act every year since 2021. We check for changes every week. When a requirement changes, subscribers' documents are updated in their vault, and we show which employees need to acknowledge the new version. Policy Kit buyers see that an update is available and can upgrade.

Can employees sign on their phones?

Yes. Each employee gets a private link by email. They read the document, draw their signature with a finger, and they're done. No app, account or password. You get a signed PDF with a full audit trail: time, IP address, device and a fingerprint of the exact document they signed.

Are electronic signatures valid?

Ontario's Electronic Commerce Act, 2000, and the electronic transactions laws in British Columbia and Alberta recognize electronic signatures for documents like policy acknowledgments and most employment agreements. A few document types, such as wills and some real estate documents, need a wet signature, and they don't belong here anyway.

Can I edit the documents?

Yes. Download the Word version and make it yours. Your changes are your responsibility, so if you change anything that a law requires, have it checked.

We have staff in more than one province.

The subscription covers every province we support. A Policy Kit covers one province.

Can I cancel?

Yes, from your billing page, at any time. Your vault and signed records stay available to download.
