Safety codes

Codes for a range of safety disciplines used to keep the public safe in the places they live, work and play.

Introduction

Municipal Affairs administers the Safety Codes Act, which establishes a legislative framework for the development of safety codes and the delivery of safety codes services for municipalities, industry and the public in Alberta.
