On June 7, 2021, several regions of Quebec, including Montreal,
saw their alert level change color as part of the provincial
government's progressive reopening plan. Quebec no longer has
regions in a red zone, and some regions have now shifted to a green
zone. In addition, most of Quebec's major cities, including
Montreal, Laval, Quebec City and Gatineau, are now in an orange
zone.
In this context, the Commission des normes, de
l'équité de la santé et de la
sécurité au travail (hereinafter the
"CNESST") has followed suit by adjusting the preventive
measures applicable in workplaces according to the color of the
alert level. These various adjustments will most likely come into
effect in Montreal in the next few days. Indeed, the Quebec
government has recently
announced that all regions of Quebec will shift to the yellow
or green zone as of June 14, 2021.
