The Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety (CCOHS) is a mid-sized government agency and serves as Canada's national resource for advancing workplace health and safety. Its mandate is to move toward eliminating work-related illnesses and injuries by supplying credible tools and resources to help Canadians and international audiences strengthen workplace health and safety programs. It supports employers—especially small and medium-sized businesses—with practical tools and online resources to meet health and safety responsibilities, including toolkits and portals introduced in recent years. In early 2025 it launched initiatives such as Spell It Out and the Workplace Mental Health Toolkit, complemented by an online portal to assist smaller organizations.

The organization is based in Hamilton, Ontario, and operates within the government administration sector to promote a safe working environment as a fundamental right for Canadians. Recent developments include the 2024–2025 rollout of the Business Safety Portal and related toolkits, and a January 2025 partnership with WSIB to provide free access to the portal for WSIB-registered businesses.
