| TORONTO, ON, Jan. 16 -- Resource Environmental Associates is pleased to announced
the publication by Thompson Carswell of the Ontario Confined Space Regulations Compliance
Handbook - A CLV Special Report, authored by REA president, John Murphy. The 219 page book
explains in detail how to comply with the complex obligations of the new Ontario Confined
Space Regulations, which came into effect September 30, 2006. Although the Ministry of
Labour has issued a set of guidelines for this process, it is evident from emails and
other communications from safety professionals that there are still many questions and
areas of misunderstanding on the part of those responsible for implementing the new law.
The author specifically addresses those questions and issues in this book. |
 |
The appendices to the handbook consist of a series of forms, diagrams and
checklists, that have been provided as sample documents for use in confined space
classification, hazard assessment, analysis of hazard control options, preparation of
hazard control plans and rescue procedures.
Ontario Confined Space Regulations
Compliance Handbook has been designed to be used primarily by health and safety personnel
charged with responsibility for confined space program development and implementation. The
handbook provides an explanation of regulatory requirements, suggests methodologies for
carrying out compliance activities, and provides a variety of sample documents that can be
used to undertake and record compliance activities. |
| In addition, the handbook can also serve as a resource for health
and safety committee members, workers who enter confined spaces, rescue teams, and
enforcement officials who, like the regulated community, may find the regulations
ambiguous or hard to comprehend. The
book can be purchased only from Thomsom Carswell. For on-line purchases, go to http://www.carswell.com/description.asp?docid=4306. |
