Saskatchewan has specific regulations for working alone. By law, working alone means working in circumstances where the worker does not have easy access to assistance in the event of injury, poor health, or emergency.
Isolated work is allowed in Saskatchewan, but employers should review each work site to identify risks and take reasonable steps to eliminate or reduce them.
A worker has the right to refuse work that he has good reason to believe is exceptionally dangerous. The unusual hazard may be for the worker or for others.
The law (3-24 — OHS 2020) states that employers must provide employees working alone with a means of communication. In the context of people who work alone at night in shops, one means of communication is not enough. They must then be equipped with an alert system with a procedure for declaring attendance (3-26 — OHS 2020) .NEOVIGIE offers a solution that makes it possible to comply with Saskatchewan regulations.
