The Ontario Ministry of Labour has introduced a number of regulatory changes that has taken effect on July 1, 2016. The most significant change has been the removal of the exemption for construction projects from the requirements (under Ontario Reg. 833/90) to assess and control worker exposure to chemical and biological substances. This change obligates contractors and constructors to be responsible to assess and control over 700 potentially hazardous chemical and biological exposures (e.g. silica, welding fumes, carbon monoxide, etc.).
In addition, a new regulation (Reg. 381/15 – Noise) will make the requirements to assess and control worker exposures to noise apply to all workplaces including construction projects.
To help you understand all of the changes to the Ministry of Labour Regulations, TCA is inviting you to join the senior speakers from Pinchin Ltd. to discuss the impact of Reg. 833, noise vibration & mold during construction.
