We have produced a CONFINED SPACE NEWSLETTER to help you understand how the tough new confined space regulations, (effective since Sept 30), 2006, will  impact most Ontario workplaces.

Please see our PEN # 29 Ontario’s New Confined Space Regulations 

Topics included: What is a confined space? What do the regulations require? Developing a confined space entry program. Conducting hazard assessments. Developing plans. Providing training. Keeping records.

A new confined space regulation, Ontario Regulation 628/05, was filed December 8, 2005 and printed in the Ontario Gazette, December 24, 2005.
