abstract: 'We examine the potential effectiveness of key provisions of the Quebec

  prevention regime as reformed by the Act to modernize the occupational

  health and safety regime (AMOHS) in September 2021. We expand Tucker''s

  (2007) two-axis typology characterizing citizenship at work to include a

  perspective sensitive to gender and to other sources of inequalities

  such as class and race. In this expanded model, the right to

  representative participation, worker influence and internal control

  extends to all workers (regardless of employment status), and includes

  accountability along value chains. In the expanded model,risks addressed

  by the prevention regime, and subject to external control, include often

  invisibilized risks associated with women''s work. In the face of

  opposition to the initial reform bill, which underestimated the risks

  associated with women''s work, adoption of key elements of the reform -

  the provisions on preventive and participatory mechanisms - was

  postponed and an interim regime established. The AMOHS will eventually

  allow for worker participation mechanisms aimed at increasing internal

  control in all sectors. This, however, comes with a risk that internal

  control will result in cosmetic rather than substantive compliance, lead

  to inconsistent levels of worker influence and undermine some of the

  conditions that underpin effective participation mechanisms, especially

  for non-unionized workers and those in small establishments. Further,

  the Public Health network has lost systematic access to workplaces, and

  it is not known what resources will be available to it or to the

  inspectorate. It remains to be seen whether the ongoing joint regulatory

  process to determine future preventive and participatory mechanisms will

  strengthen prevention and at the same time bolster, rather than weaken,

  citizenship at work.'
