Yes. Section 25(4) of the Occupational Health and Safety Act requires a health and safety policy and program for workplaces with more than five workers. In addition, Section 8 of Ontario Regulation 67/93 Respecting Health Care and Residential facilities also sets requirements for an employer to develop and implement written measures and procedures for the health and safety of workers.
