The Ontario MOL has released a proposal to consolidate into one regulation under the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA) all regulatory requirements that apply when work is to be done in or in relation to a confined space, which requirements are currently found in five different regulations.
These proposed changes will not significantly affect worker protections or employer obligations regarding confined spaces. Rather, consolidating all of these requirements into one regulation will increase accessibility and transparency of these provisions. The Ministry proposes that the amendments be implemented in 2011.
