History
The Construction Safety Branch was created in 1963, and fell under the jurisdiction of the Safety and Technical Services Division of the Department of Labour from the time of the Branch's creation until the government reoganization in 1972.
Following 1972, it was located in the Employment Services Division of the Ministry of Labour. This division was briefly re-named the Labour Services Division in 1975 before disappearing entirely in 1976.
In October 1976, the functions of the Construction Safety Branch were merged with those of the Industrial Safety Branch and they together became the Occupational Safety Branch, under the jurisdiction of the Occupational Health and Safety Division.
