| MOL Guidelines for Lead and Silica in Construction |
|
| In 2002, the Ministry of Labour (MOL) proposed to
introduce guidelines for work with lead and silica on construction projects. These two
designated substances already have their own regulations, but the regulations and the work
methods prescribed therein do no apply to construction projects. Lead and silica are
commonly encountered hazards on construction projects, and although measures for
protection from lead and/or silica exposure are not explicitly spelled out in the
Construction Projects Regulation (O.Reg. 213/91), employers are still required to protect
workers against exposure to hazardous substances. These guidelines were designed to
provide measures and procedures to help protect workers on construction sites, and on
non-construction sites where construction or maintenance activities require disturbance of
lead-based painted surfaces, and silicate structural or decorative materials.
Copies of these draft guidelines can be found on the Ministry of Labour's website.

| REA's Occupational Hygiene Short Course |
|
| REA is offering a 3-day intensive course on the
fundamentals of industrial hygiene for those persons who are responsible for health and
safety in the workplace. For more information, please contact Ana Chang or visit our website for a course description. |
| New REA Course for Engineering Personnel: Industrial Ergonomics
for Safety and Performance |
|
| In industry, designers/engineers make ergonomic
design decisions about equipment and process layouts every day. It is well known that poor
ergonomic design can lead to musculoskeletal injuries, low back pain, and other ailments;
as well as increased error rates, reduced quality and lower productivity. As such, “ergonomic
literacy” should be a core competency of every manufacturing engineer.
Unfortunately, until now, ergonomics training offerings in the business marketplace have
tended to focus on issues in office environments – it is much harder to find training
to address the needs of engineering personnel responsible for equipment and process design
and operation. This new course is designed to fill thie gap. Developed for engineering and
technical specialists, this course covers ergonomic design practices and standards, and
their application to machinery/process design, and optimization of existing jobs,
interfaces, and hardware. For more information, please contact Renée Frigault |
| REVISED: CSA-Z432 (Machine Safeguarding) – Part 1 |
|
| The 2nd edition of CSA’s Safeguarding of
Machinery Standard is in development and once released will specify requirements for the
design, manufacture, installation, maintenance, operation and safeguarding of all
industrial machinery. Changes to this standard will affect requirements for both the
physical safeguards on a machine as well as the process used to determine how hazards are
identified. Compliance with this CSA standard is recognized as good engineering
practice in the safeguarding of machinery. Therefore, compliance with the new CSA-Z432 is
strongly recommended to avoid future noncompliance issues with MOL inspectors. Key changes
to the standard and more information on how this will affect your workplace will follow in
the next editions of EHS Headlines. |
