Safety Codes Act

The Safety Codes Act created a comprehensive legislative framework for one of the most progressive public safety programs in North America. The purpose of the Act is to ensure that stakeholders in the safety system share the responsibilities for setting standards and delivering services. Partnership is a key element of the Act by featuring a system of voluntary participation of municipalities, corporations and agencies. The Act provides for consistent administration and delivery of safety standards and inspection services throughout Alberta, and incorporates the principle that users should pay the costs. The Safety Codes Act is available for viewing at the Queens Printer's web site.
