Governing regulations.

The CSA has compiled many OHS-related standards, including the Z462-18 series, which deals specifically with workplace electrical safety. To supplement the overarching regulations created by OHS and the CSA, individual provinces and territories often set their own regulations (in accordance with federal bodies) specific to their needs.
