Workplace Physical Activity Program Standard

This tool provides a blueprint for a workplace physical activity program that targets the workplace at multiple levels. This standard represents best practices and was developed in response to a needs assessment request from the Alberta government (part of the government’s Active Living Strategy). This document is also based on a format used for occupational health and safety in workplaces. Use this program standard alongside the Audit Tool to create a cycle of continuous improvement for your workplace physical activity program. (pdf, 22 pgs, 523 KB)
