Gain awareness of the current 2024-2025 MLITSD occupational hygiene campaigns, focusing on worker exposures to chemical agents in the workplace and WHMIS training based on the Amended Hazardous Products Regulations. In this session, we will provide a review of requirements under the OHSA and supporting regulations, resources to support compliance, and tips and insights on how to prepare for an inspection during this campaign.
The Ontario Designated Substances Regulation has been around since the 1980s, but some employers have not yet completed their Designated Substances Assessments. Learn about the regulatory framework around the Designated Substance Assessments, the MLITSD guide regarding designated substances in the workplace, applications where designated substances are used in industry today, and some practical tools and approaches to help with the implementation of the assessment.
Consensus can be considered both journey and destination – a process to arrive at a decision and a decision itself. But when, and why, should organizations consider consensus in safety? In this session, we will dive deeper into when consensus is appropriate, the benefits and drawbacks, learn how to apply consensus techniques to optimize collaborative team-based decision-making in a safety context while building trust and strengthening working relationships, and introduce the groundbreaking High Five Consensus Model. This session is appropriate for JHSCs, workplace and policy committees, and for safety leaders in organizations large and small.
Finding the time and resources for safety can be challenging. Not all workplaces have a team or department of safety professionals at the ready to create and implement safety programs. Join Workplace Safety & Prevention Services (WSPS) as we tackle how to approach workplace safety without a safety department. We will explore how to accomplish legislated safety tasks and best practices to create a safer workplace, and provide simple tools you can add to your workplace safety program.
Like Canada, your workforce is diverse. Your employees may include new Canadians, temporary foreign workers, or others with English as their second language. In this 45-minute session, our safety experts will provide tips on overcoming language barriers in your workplace. We’ll also connect you with new multilingual resources that can help your workers understand common hazards in the manufacturing sector.
Lay the foundation for successful OHS program implementation with Plan-Do-Check-Act. Using an Incident Investigation Program case study, we will equip you with practical tools and knowledge to navigate the implementation process. From blueprints to dream home, you’ll leave with the skills to build an effective, lasting safety program.
Most workplaces use chemicals, ranging from lower risk consumer products to high hazard designated substances. Some organizations struggle to identify risks and implement effective controls, leaving workers at risk of occupational disease. In this session, we will discuss chemical safety from pre-purchase to disposal following the recognize, assess, control, and evaluate model, highlighting regulatory requirements and sharing tips to keep your workers and property safe.
Have you ever looked back at something you did as a teen did and thought, “What was I thinking?”. You aren’t alone. Teen brains really do see risk differently. But did you know that research demonstrates the most predictive key performance indicator for reduced young worker injuries is their frontline supervisor? This session helps managers lead with insight by understanding the psychology and physiology that contributes to young worker risk. Participants will leave with evidence-based strategies for effectively tailoring risk messaging for younger audiences, build virtuous communication cycles that support working relationships, and learn why saying “my door is always open” isn’t enough.
Poor storage practices and misuse of flammable and combustible liquids can lead to devastating fires and cause catastrophic injury and/or property damage. In this session, we will learn to identify and assess risk and discuss using the fire tetrahedron model to mitigate risk of fire. We’ll also answer common questions such as: how does a flammable liquid storage cabinet work? What is bonding and grounding? Do I need a pre-start health and safety review? What training do my staff need before using flammables? Come ignite your curiosity!
MLITSD hygienists are currently conducting proactive inspections to ensure compliance with Regulation 833, Control of Exposure to Biological or Chemical Agents.
The goal is to prevent occupational illness and ensure that workers are not exposed to hazardous substances exceeding the occupational exposure limits.
