CNESST prevention program for your office or services business: what the RMPPE requires of you

Have 1 to 19 workers? The action plan applies instead — the diagnostic places you too.

—

Full RMPPE compliance is required by October 1, 2026.

The typical risks of your sector

Workstation ergonomics — static postures that add up to back and neck pain
Psychosocial risks (workload, harassment) — now named in black and white among the categories to cover
Prolonged screen work — visual and postural fatigue over full days
Same-level falls — cords, mats and stairs — unremarkable until the fall
Indoor air quality — ventilation, humidity and recurring complaints

Fine exposure

Not having a prevention program is an offence under s. 236 of the LSST — from $2,115 to $4,226 per statement of offence for a legal person (first offence, 2026). If the absence of measures contributes to compromising a worker's health or safety, s. 237 applies: from $21,127 to $84,519, and up to more than $400,000 for repeat offences.
