OGCA MEMBERS, ARE YOU READY FOR THE CHANGES TO THE MINISTRY OF LABOUR REGULATIONS?
Print this Article | Send to Colleague
The Ontario Ministry of Labour has introduced a number of regulatory changes that have 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, Pinchin is inviting OGCA members to join our very own Dave Gardner, Vince Gambino & Stephen Booth discuss the impact of Reg. 833, noise vibration & mould during construction at our Mississauga Head Office on Tuesday October 25th, 2016.
If you would like to attend Pinchin’s discussion on Labour Regulations, please RSVP by contacting Terri Kelloway tkelloway@pinchin.com
