This episode of the IHSA Safety Podcast discusses reporting and notification responsibilities for asbestos on construction projects in Ontario and features Michele Beckstead-Jackson, Provincial Specialist with the Construction Health and Safety Program of the Occupational Health and Safety Branch, at the Ministry of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development (MLITSD).
Michele discusses the various reports and notifications required for submission to the Ministry, such as the Owner Report and the Asbestos Worker Report, among others. The Owner Report requires the owner of the building to report to the Ministry before tendering, arranging, or contracting work for demolition, alteration, or repair operations where asbestos will be handled. The employer must submit an Asbestos Worker Report to the Ministry for each worker involved in type two or type three removal operations. They must provide a copy of the report to the worker at the time of submission and upon termination.
Asbestos management planning is a shared responsibility that should be clearly communicated to all parties involved. Employers, contractors, and workers who are dealing with asbestos must ensure they are working safely and are in compliance with the laws in Ontario.

This episode of the IHSA Safety Podcast discusses the Utility Work Protection Code (UWPC), a set of rules and regulations that play a crucial role in worker safety across Ontario, and features Sandy Morrison, Utility Work Protection Code coordinator at IHSA. The UWPC, owned by Hydro One and updated every five years, ensures that rules, tags, forms, and communication are consistent. The UWPC helps create an environment where hazards are reduced or eliminated by providing rules for workers working on or above 750 volts. It is based on the understanding that the safest way to work is to isolate an area and work around it using different permits and tags to create a safe work environment.
Sandy addresses the importance of training in the UWPC for crews working around high voltage. Training is only valid for 27 months and must be retaken after two years. This ongoing training process allows workers to learn new skills and address new questions or scenarios. IHSA offers four training courses in the UWPC: Overview, Core, Recertification, and Train the Trainer.
Sandy also discusses the UWPC’s significant changes in 2024, which include new code changes that match the Electrical Utility Safety Rules (EUSR), implementation of a signature rule, an annual management review, creation of a new PC3 tag, and more.

Employers often provide training to ensure workers are equipped for a job, with formal training requirements and courses being especially important. However, there are differences between training and competency, and it is essential to explore the distinction between the two terms when building an occupational health and safety management system (OHSMS). This episode of the IHSA Safety Podcast discusses training and competency and features Maren Gamble, Manager of Strategic Programs at IHSA.
Maren highlights that training involves learning new skills to properly perform a specific job or activity, but may not cover all the necessary knowledge for the specific task. Competency, on the other hand, encompasses knowledge, experience, and training, ensuring a person is ready to safely perform tasks. It involves having accurate, current information, the right training, and applicable experience to organize and perform work, know the laws associated with it, and understand potential dangers or hazards.
Maren further discusses the layers involved in developing competency, including both internal and external factors such as licensing or certifications. Maren also stresses the need to verify competency—in addition to verifying training—through evaluation, interview, or observation of work to help identify any gaps in understanding.

This episode of the IHSA Safety Podcast discusses the Electrical Utility Safety Rules (EUSR), which have been the foundation of health and safety education in the electrical utilities industry since 1914, and features Jeff Ellery, a member of IHSA's Power Line Apprenticeship and training team. The EUSR, initially created by the Electrical Employers Association of Ontario, laid down a set of rules for safe work for electrical workers who work on or near electrical distribution or transmission systems in Ontario. These workers include power line technicians, utility arborists, and high-voltage electrical workers.
Jeff explains that the EUSR was established in 1914 because of the critical need for a documented set of safety rules due to the high number of incidents and workplace fatalities in the electrical utility sector. The EUSR can be credited with contributing to the foundational elementsfound in the current Ontario's Occupational Health and Safety Act, such as workers' rights, competent supervision, requirements for personal protective equipment (PPE), and worker resuscitation and first aid. The EUSR is regarded as a best practice within the electrical utilitiessector.
The EUSR has undergone significant revisions since its formation, and Jeff discusses the parties involved in its evolution, as well as the recent changes that went into effect on January 1, 2024.
The 2024 edition of the EUSR is now available in print and online at IHSA.ca.

During the winter months in Canada, the weather can get extremely cold, and workers in industries such as construction, transportation, and electrical utilities face the risk of experiencing cold stress. On this episode of the IHSA Safety Podcast, Jasmine Kalsi, IHSA’s Occupational Hygienist, discusses cold stress, which occurs when the human body's core temperature drops below 37 degrees Celsius. Cold stress can result in cold-related illnesses, tissue damage, and even death.
Jasmine explains that extended exposures to cold can occur in locations such as roofs, unheated cabs, bridges, projects near large bodies of water, high buildings open to the wind, and working in refrigerated rooms, vessels, and containers. Cold stress can result in two major illnesses: hypothermia and frostbite. Hypothermia occurs when the body cannot maintain its core temperature due to constricting blood vessels, while frostbite is caused by exposure to severe cold or contact with extremely cold surfaces.
Jasmine further discusses the responsibilities of employers to take reasonable precautions to protect workers from cold stress. Controls that can be implemented include training, safety talks, providing appropriate protective clothing, providing hot beverages and heated shelters or breakrooms, and creating a cold stress prevention plan.

To build an effective occupational health and safety management system, it is crucial to adopt a proactive approach to risk prevention rather than a reactive one. This episode of the IHSA Safety Podcast discusses the basics of hazards, risks, assessment, and controls within an occupational health and safety management system and features Maren Gamble, Manager of Strategic Programs at IHSA.
Maren discusses the proactive approach in depth, which focuses on predicting and foreseeing potential risks before the job starts. Maren compares this to baby-proofing or pet-proofing a house by identifying potential hazards to an infant or a new pet and putting control measures in place.
Maren further emphasizes the importance of understanding the distinction between hazard, risk, assessment, and control. The hazard in a workplace is what causes harm, while the risk is the type of harm it can cause. It’s important to consider the hazard that existed to cause that risk, as this helps identify other risks associated with the same hazard.
Maren also discusses the best way to address risks, which is to implement controls. Some types of controls are better than others, leading to the control hierarchy as follows: Elimination, substitution, engineering controls, administrative controls, and personal protective equipment (PPE).

Worker misclassification can have ramifications for all parties involved. When a worker is misclassified, it prevents them from receiving the full benefits and protections they are entitled to under the Canada Labour Code. This episode of the IHSA Safety Podcast (the final in a three-part series) discusses worker misclassification in transportation and features Liz Tavares, Occupational Health and Safety Officer, Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC)—Labour Program/Government of Canada, and Michelle Roberts, Vice President, Stakeholder and Public Relations at IHSA.
Worker misclassification, as explained by Liz, is the improper designation of an employee and occurs when an employer intentionally treats a worker who meets the criteria to be an employee as someone other than an employee. As a result, the worker or driver is not afforded the same rights and protections as other employees in the industry.
Liz and Michelle further highlight the risks associated with misclassification for both workers and employers, as well as the steps by which misclassification can be addressed. The first is through guidance and counselling, followed by other compliance measures such as Assurance of Voluntary Compliance (AVC), Compliance Order, and more.

Silica is a primary component of many construction materials. CAREX Canada estimates that approximately 380,000 Canadians are occupationally exposed to silica, and approximately 570 lung cancers are due to exposure to crystalline silica each year. Exposure to silica dust, produced during work processes such as digging, grinding, and drilling, can lead to serious health issues including lung cancer, silicosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and chronic kidney disease.
On this episode of the IHSA Safety Podcast, Jasmine Kalsi, IHSA’s Occupational Hygienist, and Shirly Yan, Occupational Hygienist at the Occupational Health Clinics for Ontario Workers (OHCOW)—Toronto Clinic, discuss the hazards posed by silica in construction, addressing topics such as:
· How a worker can get exposed to silica
· Legal limits to which a worker can be exposed to silica
· The responsibilities of workplace parties to ensure the health and safety of workers
· The Silica Control Tool™ (SCT), a new tool from Ontario's Occupational Health and Safety System that collects details about a company, the jobsite, and planned work activity, estimating and analyzing the risk of silica dust exposure
Beginning in November 2023, workers and employers in the Ontario Construction Industry will receive full access to the Silica Control Tool™ to help assess silica exposure levels in the workplace.

Noise is a significant hazard in the construction, transportation, and utility sectors, and extended exposure can be harmful at levels that workers may not notice or consider disruptive, resulting in gradual hearing loss. Noise-induced hearing loss continues to be the leading cause of non-fatal occupational disease claims in Ontario. On this episode of the IHSA Safety Podcast, we are joined once again by Jasmine Kalsi, IHSA's Occupational Hygienist, and Blair Allin, Canada's National Health and Safety Representative for the International Brotherhood of Boilermakers.
Jasmine and Blair discuss in detail noise exposure in the workplace and the need for audiometric testing. Audiometric testing is a non-invasive and painless hearing test that assesses an individual's ability to hear sounds at different intensities. Audiometric tests are beneficial in the workplace, as they allow both employers and workers to have a record of hearing function and determine the effectiveness of existing noise control measures.
Jasmine and Blair also speak on the process of getting and conducting audiometric testing in a workplace, emphasizing the necessity for employers to consider audiometric testing as a best practice.

The Plan, Do, Check, Act (PDCA) model, also known as the four stages of continuous improvement, is crucial for an organization's health and safety goals. On Episode 66 of the IHSA Safety podcast, Maren Gamble, Manager of Strategic Programs at IHSA, walked through the PDCA model as a fundamental framework for developing and implementing an effective Occupational Health and Safety Management System (OHSMS). On this episode of the IHSA Safety podcast, Maren delves deeper into the practical application of the PDCA model, breaking it down as follows:
· During the Plan stage, having a well-developed plan is critical, which involves carefully outlining each step and considering all possible scenarios to ensure everything is covered
· The Do stage involves assigning roles to individuals and ensuring everyone understands their roles in order to carry out the plan effectively
· The Check stage involves assessing the outcome of the event and identifying areas for improvement
· The Act stage involves celebrating the successes and small victories, as well as making necessary adjustments to improve the overall OHSMS process
Every step of the PDCA model is important for continuous improvement and maintaining a safe work environment.

The Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) model is a fundamental framework for developing and implementing an effective Occupational Health and Safety Management System (OHSMS). This approach allows organizations to continuously improve their safety performance, encourages employee engagement, and can be applied consistently across a variety of management systems.
On this episode of the IHSA Safety Podcast, Maren Gamble, Manager of Strategic Programs at IHSA, compares the planning phase of building an OHSMS to planning a boat ride to your favourite restaurant across the lake: in both cases, careful planning ensures that everyone involved stays safe and has fun.
Building an OHSMS can certainly be complex -- the PDCA model can help firms focus on the basics and create a solid foundation, so that their plan can be applied universally across each of their jobsites.
The PDCA is also a critical component of COR® and a requirement of participants in the WSIB’s Health and Safety Excellence program (HSEp).
