History
This branch was formed in August 1978 when the Occupational Safety Branch was divided into the Construction Health and Safety Branch and the Industrial Health and Safety Branch. In function, it was similar to the Construction Safety Branch, which existed from 1963 to 1976.
The branch fell under the jurisdiction of the Occupation Health and Safety Division until 1991, when the Division reverted to the level of branch and this branch was turned into a subordinate program of the reconstitituted Occupational Health and Safety Branch.
