As of May 2025, the Alberta Occupational Health Nurses’ Association (AOHNA) has formally concluded operations. Following a Special Resolution passed by membership in April 2025, AOHNA members have transitioned to the Alberta Society of Health and Safety Professionals (ASHSP).

​ASHSP is a provincial organization established in 2017, dedicated to advancing occupational health and safety (OHS) as a recognized profession in Alberta. They are actively working toward establishing a Professional Regulatory Organization (PRO) that will provide:

  • Title Protection – Ensuring only qualified individuals can use professional OHS titles.
  • Scope of Practice Protection – Restricting complex health and safety tasks to certified professionals.
  • Ethical and Competency Standards – Upheld through a legislated regulatory body.
