CONFINED SPACE
AWARENESS AND ENTRY
The current legislation by the Ministry of Labour of Ontario states that “if a workplace includes a confined space that workers may enter to perform work, the employer shall ensure that a written program for the confined space is developed and maintained…” This program must include provisions for ensuring any worker who enters a confined space or performs related work is adequately trained.
