(Parts 1 to 4 of the Regulation)
On February 1, 2007, the New Manitoba Workplace Safety and Health Regulation 217/2006 comes into force. This regulation amalgamates several previous regulations and provides new regulatory requirements for employers.The regulation has 44 parts to it. Pinchin has reviewed the regulation and will be providing information on a select number of the Parts through a series of breakfast information sessions.
The following is a summary of Parts 1 to 4 of the Regulation. For information on Awareness Sessions for other sections of the Regulation please see our Awareness Session Summary or our Breakfasts PDF.
To briefly summarize, an employer must:
- Develop safe work procedures & train workers in the procedures. The employer is also responsible to ensure that workers comply with the safe work procedures developed.
- Regulations also apply to self employed persons.
- Conduct regular workplace inspections (includes workplace as a whole as well as processes and procedures).
- Report and investigate serious incidents (new definition of serious incident).
- Establish a Safety & Health Committee as outlined in W210 the Workplace Safety and Health Act.
- Provide adequate ventilation to the workplace.
- Ensure washroom and hand washing facilities are available.
- Ensure adequate thermal and lighting conditions
Please note that the above items are a brief summary of the requirements of the regulation. There are several other requirements of the new regulation that will be addressed at each of our sessions.
