Frequently Asked Questions
What Alberta regulation covers washroom cleanliness at work?
Alberta's Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Code, Part 24 (Workplace Health and Hygiene) sets out employer obligations for sanitary facilities. Employers must provide adequate washrooms and maintain them in a clean and sanitary condition.
Does Alberta require a formal cleaning log?
Alberta's current OHS Code does not prescribe the same mandatory posting format as Ontario's Bill 190. However, OHS Officers can request evidence of your maintenance program at any inspection. A cleaning log is the most defensible proof that your obligations are being met.
Is Alberta likely to introduce legislation like Ontario's Bill 190?
There is growing national momentum toward washroom compliance legislation following Ontario's 2024 changes. Organizations that build digital systems now will be well-positioned for any incoming provincial requirements.
What are the penalties for Alberta OHS violations?
Alberta OHS Officers can issue orders, stop-work orders, and administrative penalties. Under the Occupational Health and Safety Act, penalties can reach $500,000 for corporations and $100,000 for individuals per violation.
How does VeriClean help Alberta employers?
VeriClean provides digital, timestamped cleaning logs that are accessible on demand. If an OHS Officer inspects your facility, you can pull up a complete cleaning history in seconds — no binders, no paper searches.
Do workers need to download an app to view records?
No. Workers scan the QR code posted near the washroom with their phone camera to view the cleaning log. No app download required.
