Q1 :Who creates CSA OHS standards?
 
 
Q2 :Who funds the development of OHS standards at the Canadian Standards Association?
 
A2 :CSA OHS standards are funded by CSA and stakeholders interested in the process. This can include government, industry, and associations. Typically, a standard is funded through a combination of these sources. In the OHS Program, provincial, territorial and federal departments of labour have been long –standing contributors to the development of CSA OHS standards, because of the importance of CSA standards within OHS policy and regulations. Our standards development process ensures that the content of the standard is not influenced by the way that it is funded.
