Our staff of over 115 employees, located throughout Nova Scotia, do this by using the Pathways to Compliance to enhance compliance of provincially regulated employees, employers and contractors through setting, promoting, verifying and enforcing requirements under various pieces of legislation.
LSI works to provide fairness, safety, and prosperity for all Nova Scotians by helping them live, learn and work to their highest potential.
