Are these manuals written for Nova Scotia?
Yes. Every manual on this page references Nova Scotia occupational health and safety legislation topic by topic, and each trade's safe work practices are written for that trade's work.
My trade is not listed. Which manual should I choose?
Pick the trade closest to your work. General Industry covers mixed operations. Every product page shows the full contents and real sample pages, so you can check the safe work practices before you buy.
I also work in another province. Do I need a second manual?
Each province has its own legislation, so yes, and it costs less: add the same trade for a second province for $199 when you buy.
