What is Quebec’s Bill 27, and who does it apply to?
Quebec’s Bill 27, officially known as An Act to modernize the occupational health and safety regime, applies to all employers in the province—no matter the size of the business. The law focuses on preventing workplace hazards, including psychosocial risks (PSRs), by introducing new legal responsibilities around health and safety.

What new HR responsibilities does Bill 27 bring for employers?
With Bill 27 now in effect, Quebec employers are expected to take a more proactive—and even cultural—shift in how they approach health and safety at work, especially when it comes to psychosocial risks.
Here’s what’s now required:
✓ Evaluate all potential risks in the workplace, including PSRs like excessive workload, lack of recognition, or interpersonal tensions.
✓ Put a prevention program in place, even in small and medium-sized businesses, and include concrete actions to reduce the risks identified.
✓ Provide proper training to both employees and managers on their obligations under the Occupational Health and Safety Act.
✓ Actively involve employees in identifying risks and building solutions.
✓ Keep track of actions taken, incidents reported, and steps put in place to fix the issues.
These responsibilities give HR and managers a central role in prevention, calling for a consistent, structured approach that keeps team well-being top of mind. Failure to comply can lead to penalties from the CNESST.

Which PSRs are targeted by Bill 27?
The law highlights several key psychosocial risks that employers must now address:
- Heavy workloads
- Lack of recognition
- Toxic work environments
- Psychological harassment
- Lack of autonomy or unclear roles
Left unchecked, these risks can lead to burnout, anxiety, and psychological distress. Bill 27 now requires employers to recognize and actively work to prevent them.
