Understanding Alberta's Safety Codes system: Municipal roles, responsibilities, and decisions
Event Summary
Safety codes affect every community in Alberta, from large urban centers to the smallest rural municipalities. Whether a municipality administers the Safety Codes Act through an accredited program or receives services through the Alberta Safety Codes Authority (ASCA), municipal leaders and administrative staff make critical decisions that affect how safety codes services are delivered within their communities.
Understanding the options available, the responsibilities associated with those options, and the roles of key system partners help municipalities make informed decisions that support public safety, regulatory compliance, and effective local governance.
This session will provide practical, non-technical information that municipal leaders and administrative staff can immediately apply within their organizations and communities. Session participants will gain a clearer understanding of how Alberta's safety codes system operates, including the roles and responsibilities of key participants and the options available to municipalities for delivering safety codes services. Municipal leaders and administrative staff will leave with practical, non-technical information they can immediately apply to support informed decision-making, regulatory compliance, and effective local governance.
