New WCB Notice of Project Forms
WCB of BC has recently replaced the six Notice of Project (NOP) forms with two new ones:
Form 52E49 - NOP: Construction,
Asbestos, Lead
Form 53E48 - NOP: Forestry, Aircraft,
Diving, Underground Workings
This will eliminate much of the duplicate
general information that employers have to complete if there is more than one type of NOP
required. Go to http://www.worksafebc.com and
click on "Forms" to obtain copies.
Alberta's Regulatory Review Process
Alberta's Radiation Protection Regulation is currently under review. Visit http://www3.gov.ab.ca/hre/whs/law/pdf/rpr_proposal.pdf
for a copy of the draft Regulatory Proposal. Some of the proposed changes include:
- Both the owner of radiation equipment or source(s) and the employer are responsible for
keeping workers' exposures As Low As Reasonably Achievable (ALARA).
- Speficies that a dosimeter must be used for personal monitoring.
- A new requirement that only those 18 years of age or older are allowed to work with
radiation.
If you would like to participate or have comments about the review process, you can fax
the Chair of the Radiation Protection Regulatory Review Task Force at 780-422-0014. |
| Is "Encasement" for you? |
|
| Do you have mould in your building? Do you
have asbestos fire-proofing and/or lead-based paint in your facility? If you
answered "Yes" to any of these questions, then perhaps you may want to consider
encasement. “Encasement” is an enclosure membrane formed by the application of a
non-toxic, acrylic polymer. The end result is a thick, durable unitary membrane
that is elastic, not rigid. Thus, both asbestos fibres and lead-based paint will be
contained within the membrane and will not be an exposure hazard. With respect to mould,
the encasement material naturally inhibits the growth of mould and mildew. Another
advantage is that encasement is significantly less expensive than abatement and,
additionally, carries a limited warranty of 20 years. To learn more about encasement
technology and its prior use in Canada, contact Alex
Safronsky or Vince Germanese. |
