Ontario Upgrading its Confined Space Safety Regulations - Occupational Hazards
With the changes the Ministry of Labor plans to make, the original four sector regulations will be updated and many workers not previously covered by a sector regulation - such as transportation and municipal maintenance workers - will be covered by a new confined spaces regulation, according to the agency.
The changes will take effect Sept. 30.
A 'confined space,' according to the Ministry of Labor, is an enclosed space that is not designed for continuous human occupancy and can have a buildup of gases or dust, or lack of oxygen that can put workers at risk of injury or even death.
